Vulkan Inox: International Trade Shows Strengthen Market Position

In April alone, Vulkan Inox was represented at three international trade shows simultaneously: in Germany at PaintExpo 2026, in Turkey at Marble Izmir—represented by its long-standing partner Fetas—and in Mexico at Die Casting Expo Mexico. As early as March, the company showcased its products at RPA France, Global Industrie Paris, and the AMPP Annual Conference + Expo in Houston, USA. Despite differing target audiences, all events centered on the same theme: perfect surface treatment using high-quality stainless steel abrasives. During in-depth technical discussions, new applications were explored, customized solutions for current challenges were developed, and existing partnerships were further strengthened. At the same time, numerous new customer contacts were established. It was particularly gratifying that several visitors immediately scheduled appointments for blasting tests and sampling of their parts at the Vulkan Inox test center in Hattingen to personally verify the quality and performance of the blasting media.

Vulkan Inox Engages with the Surface Technology Industry

A special highlight was the company’s appearance at PaintExpo 2026. Vulkan Inox’s modern booth impressed with its clean design, strong brand presence, and high level of technical expertise. Over the course of all four days of the trade show, the booth became an important meeting place for the surface technology industry. “This shows that our technical expertise remains in high demand. Personal interaction and the collaborative development of customized solutions with our customers continue to be our particular strength as the market leader for stainless steel abrasives,” says Christian Hoffmann, Head of Global Sales at Vulkan Inox. Managing Director Marc Hidde also views the first half of the trade show year extremely positively: “Our international presence at the most important trade shows clearly demonstrates how great the demand for high-quality and sustainable solutions in surface technology continues to be.” Looking back, Vulkan Inox considers the first half of 2026 a complete success. Vulkan Inox will maintain its international presence throughout the remainder of the year. In June, a trade conference on stone treatment will take place in Turkey, represented by partner Fetas, as well as Feimec 2026 in Brazil, represented by Deumex de Brasil. Further appearances at trade shows and conferences in the fall are already in the works.
