This Exhibition has the right Profile
The international World of Paint and Coatings
The product spectrum at the European Coatings SHOW reflects the innovations in paint and coatings. Every two years, the formulators of paint, coatings, adhesives, sealants, additives, printing inks or construction chemical products, industrial processors and representatives from science and research discuss the latest developments in the coatings market at the world-leading exhibition in Nuremberg.

Joint Organization by Vincentz Netzwerk and NürnbergMesse
The dynamic market growth of the past years has slowed down for the time being, so innovations are called for to keep ahead of the competition. The European Coatings SHOW shows all the sector’s global trends like solutions for bio-based coating systems, water-based and UV-cured coatings, functionalized nanoparticles or new applications of the all-rounder nano TiO2. The trade fair and the accompanying European Coatings CONGRESS are organized by the Coatings Team of Vincentz Network in cooperation with NürnbergMesse.
