After PaintExpo could not take place in 2020 due to the situation surrounding the corona pandemic, preparations for the next edition of the world's leading trade fair for industrial painting technology are now in full swing: Leipziger Messe, which took over PaintExpo from FairFair GmbH with effect from December 1, 2020, is planning PaintExpo as a presence trade fair in Karlsruhe from April 26 to 29, 2022. The registration phase for exhibitors has started and the response from the industry is great.
With 537 exhibitors from 29 countries and 11,790 trade visitors from 88 countries, PaintExpo was able to consolidate its status as the world's leading trade fair for industrial coating technology at the last edition in 2018. One in three exhibitors came from abroad. In addition to Germany, countries such as Italy, Switzerland, France, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Turkey, Poland, Great Britain and Denmark were strongly represented.
PaintExpo will also become a global showcase for the painting technology industry from April 26 to 29, 2022: "Next year's PaintExpo will present the who's who of the industry 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 painting. The international range of products and services in industrial painting technology will be covered in its entirety along the value-added chain. PaintExpo serves as a trend barometer for visitors from Germany and abroad - and is thus once again a must-attend event for the industry", says Markus Geisenberger, Managing Director of Leipziger Messe.
Registration phase for exhibitors has started - early bird discount until the end of June
The registration phase for PaintExpo 2022 has begun: "We're thrilled by the great interest shown by our exhibitors. We were able to welcome the first 100 companies as exhibitors shortly after the start of registration. The industry is eager to finally be able to meet in person again," reports PaintExpo's new Project Director, Ivonne Simons. Ivonne Simons has been working at Leipziger Messe for more than 20 years and has already managed several B2B trade fairs, which - like PaintExpo - are characterized by a clear target group focus and a tailor-made concept.
Companies wishing to participate as exhibitors at PaintExpo 2022 can still benefit from the early-booking discount until the end of June 2021. The registration documents for exhibitors are available on the PaintExpo website. The registration deadline is November 30, 2021.
Exhibitors looking forward - numerous innovations on show
In addition to innovative medium-sized companies, next year's world's leading trade fair for industrial painting technology will once again feature market and technology leaders as well as global players in the industry - including exhibitors J. Wagner and FreiLacke, for example. Gema Switzerland, a leading international supplier in the field of electrostatic powder coatings, has also already secured its stand space for PaintExpo 2022: According to Gema, the world's leading trade fair for industrial coating technology is one of the most important events for making interesting contacts and holding stimulating technical discussions. The company will be presenting numerous further developments and innovative products at the upcoming PaintExpo. The exhibitor is particularly looking forward to personal discussions with visitors during the trade fair, Gema Switzerland reports.
The developer and manufacturer of painting, powder and adhesive equipment, SAMES KREMLIN, will also be present at the leading international trade fair in Karlsruhe at the end of April 2022: "PaintExpo has been an unmissable meeting place for all players in industrial painting and surface technology since its inception. The format enables regular exchanges with our partners, the presentation of innovative products and technologies and the exploration of potential development opportunities. We're once again looking forward to the irreplaceable personal contact on site at PaintExpo," explains Sandra Dostert, Marketing Manager DACH at SAMES KREMLIN. Visitors to the trade fair can look forward to many new technologies at the company's stand - including a new powder application series, the PaintSave system for reducing paint loss during color changes and innovative applicators.
New digital tools await trade fair participants
In addition to numerous new products and further developments from exhibitors from the painting technology sector, which can be experienced live at the trade fair, further innovations await trade fair participants. For example, the establishment of contacts in the industry will be promoted and facilitated even more: visitors and exhibitors will be able to use a new planning tool to arrange online meetings in advance of the trade fair - thus enabling even more targeted discussions at PaintExpo. In addition, a new digital exhibitor and product directory will be published on the PaintExpo website next year - prior to the start of the trade fair - in which exhibitors' products will be presented in addition to company information.
