VOA back at the Aluminum 2026 trade fair

From October 6 to 8, 2026, Aluminium in Düsseldorf will once again bring together producers, processors, end users and technology suppliers along the entire value chain from more than 100 countries. Right in the middle of it all: the Association for the Surface Finishing of Aluminum e. V. (VOA) in Hall 3, Stand 3F70-10. Visitors can look forward to the long-standing and reliable trade fair partner, because the attractive stand of the trade association with its many members is a popular meeting place for networking in the surface finishing industry. With the latest solutions and technologies, in-depth expert opinions on trends and innovations in the aluminum industry and surface finishing, the trade fair is a global industry meeting place. Under the motto "Sharing a Vision", Aluminum focuses on those topics that are particularly challenging for the industry and offer enormous potential: Sustainability, recycling and technological transformation. The common vision of the trade fair exhibitors is to further establish surface-finished aluminum as a sustainable and future-proof material. The material is ideal, especially when thinking about climate change, resource conservation and transformation. New in 2026: a dedicated Sustainability & Recycling Conference, underlining the strategic importance of this growing market segment in line with demand.

VOA trade fair stand at the Aluminum 2026

It goes without saying that the trade fair has long been a firm fixture in the VOA's calendar due to its enormous importance. At the stand, the association will be providing information about the diverse production options and capabilities of the surface finishing industry, as well as about the international quality marks Qualanod and Qualicoat for anodized and coated aluminium respectively, of which the VOA is the general licensee in Germany. The VOA also presented its own international quality mark Qualistrip for the paint stripping of aluminum and other materials. Many member companies take the opportunity to exchange technical information at Aluminium and at the VOA stand. Representatives from the global committees of the quality mark organizations, in which the VOA participates and with which it maintains close contact, will also meet. The focus of Hall 3, where the VOA stand is located, will once again be on surface treatment this year with the Surface Pavilion. This will showcase the variety of surface processes and their design-oriented applications - from anodizing and coating to chemical treatment options and paint stripping through to quality management with the international quality marks Qualanod, Qualicoat and Qualistrip. Whether at the VOA exhibition stand or in the stylish and cozy Surface & Design Lounge, there will be plenty of space for dialogue and networking in a relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by multifaceted and innovative exhibits.
