Preparations are in full swing for the next edition of PaintExpo, the world's leading trade fair for industrial coating technology, which was unable to take place in 2020 due to the corona pandemic. Leipziger Messe, which took over PaintExpo from FairFair GmbH as of 1 December 2020, is planning PaintExpo as a face-to-face trade fair in Karlsruhe from 26 to 29 April 2022. Registration for exhibitors is open and receiving a great response from the industry.

In 2018 PaintExpo firmly established itself as the world's leading trade fair for industrial coating technology, with 537 exhibitors from 29 countries and 11,790 trade visitors from 88 countries. One in three exhibitors came from abroad. In addition to German exhibitors, Italy, Switzerland, France, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Turkey, Poland, Great Britain and Denmark were all well represented.

Once again PaintExpo will offer a global showcase for the industrial coating industry from 26 to 29 April 2022: "At next year's PaintExpo, the Who's Who of the industry will present itself with numerous market and technology leaders in three exhibition halls to exchange information about the latest applications, future technologies and trends in the field of industrial coating. It will cover the entire range of international products and services in the supply chain for industrial coating technology. PaintExpo serves as the trend indicator for visitors both from Germany and from abroad - and is thus once again a must-attend event for the industry," says Markus Geisenberger, Chief Executive Officer of Leipziger Messe.

Registration Open for Exhibitors - Early-Bird Rates Until End of June

Registration for PaintExpo 2022 has begun: "We are excited by the level of interest from our exhibitors. We were able to welcome the first 100 companies as exhibitors shortly after registration opened. The industry is eager to get together again", reports Ivonne Simons, PaintExpo's newly appointed Project Director. Ivonne Simons has worked for Leipziger Messe for more than 20 years and managed several B2B trade fairs similar to PaintExpo, featuring a clearly defined target group and a tailor-made concept.

Companies wishing to be a part of PaintExpo 2022 can still benefit from early-bird rates until the end of June 2021. Registration forms for exhibitors can be downloaded from the PaintExpo website. The registration deadline is 30 November 2021.

New Digital Tools on Show for Participants

On top of being able to experience numerous new products and advancements from exhibitors in the coating technology industry live at the trade fair, participants can also expect additional new features. Finding contacts within in the industry will be easier and more actively promoted: In the run-up to the trade fair, visitors and exhibitors can arrange meetings online using a new planning tool. Furthermore, a new digital exhibitor and product directory will be published on the PaintExpo website in advance of the trade fair next year, featuring company information as well as introducing exhibitors' products.
