The European Coatings Show 2025 will once again be the meeting place for the coatings industry: whether coatings, printing inks, laboratory, production, testing or measuring technology, adhesives or construction chemicals - trade visitors can look forward to specialist suppliers from all over the world and a comprehensive range of products. The partly parallel European Coatings Show Conference offers space for intensive knowledge transfer with over 140 presentations from March 24 to 26, 2025. Pre-conference tutorials will prepare participants for the conference. The European Coatings Show will occupy a total of eight exhibition halls, six of which will be dedicated exclusively to coating raw materials, printing ink raw materials, adhesive raw materials, construction chemical precursors and related services. Hall 4 is all about laboratory and production technology, testing and measuring technology, application technology as well as environmental protection and occupational safety. Hall 4 A combines all product segments.
