International network with a long history

After the second day of the PSI 2026 trade show, a special highlight awaited participants: PSI Night, which took place once again this year at the Nachtresidenz in downtown Düsseldorf. New this year: the honouring of long-standing PSI members took place at PSI Night for the first time, rather than at the trade show as in previous years. Members who have been with PSI for 20, 30, 40, 50 and even 60 years or more deserve a festive setting as a thank you for their loyalty. They have made PSI history and together have made the industry the successful network it is today. At the start of the evening, PSI Director Petra Lassahn and RX Germany Managing Director Michael Köhler honoured the jubilarians for their decades of commitment to the industry.

Honouring long-standing PSI members

One by one, the company representatives present at the event were invited onto the stage to receive their awards. Myga (S) and Basoa (E) were the first to be honoured for their 25 years of membership in the PSI network. They were followed by Adoma (D), graf. Kommunikation (D), Premo (NL) and Sport Böckmann (D) received their certificates for 30 years of membership. Karl Knauer (D) and Kaldenbach (D) have been PSI members for 40 years, while Saalfrank (D) has been part of the PSI network for half a century. With 60 years of membership, Klio Eterna (Germany), Faber-Castell Vertrieb (Germany) and PAW Werbeartikel (Austria) are among the most traditional companies in the PSI network and have accompanied the development of the leading trade fair almost since its inception.

Party atmosphere with high networking factor

Nach den offiziellen Ehrungen erwartete die Gäste ein abwechslungsreiches Buffet mit kulinarischen Spezialitäten, das für jeden Geschmack passende Gaumenfreuden bot. Die entspannte Atmosphäre lud dazu ein, bestehende Geschäftsbeziehungen zu vertiefen, neue Kontakte zu knüpfen und sich über aktuelle Branchenthemen auszutauschen. Die PSI Night wurde damit erneut ihrem Ruf als zentrale Netzwerkveranstaltung der Werbeartikelwirtschaft gerecht.
