The gathering of the coatings and paint industry

Next event:
European Coatings SHOW: 19 – 21 March 2013
European Coatings CONGRESS: 18 – 19 March 2013

Aesthetic, sustainable, functional, process-proof. The demands placed on paint and coatings for use in the automotive industry, construction chemicals, mechanical engineering, aerospace or shipbuilding are growing all the time. Decision-makers and thought leaders in the coatings industry face great challenges. The European Coatings SHOW 2013 gives them the opportunity to meet the innovation leaders and discuss the latest developments in nanoparticles, pigments, additives, production equipment or application equipment.

The event attracted 25,000 visitors and 887 exhibitors in 2011. The growth rates impressively prove that the world-leading exhibition in Nuremberg has maintained its great importance for the paint and coatings industry.
