The largest European Coatings Show on record is set to open its doors at Exhibition Centre Nuremberg from 25 to 27 March 2025. The trade fair provides a platform for industry stakeholders to make new business contacts and network with one another. Whether their interests are in paints, printing inks, laboratory, production testing or measuring equipment, adhesive feedstocks or construction chemical precursors, trade visitors can look forward to an extensive range of products from specialised providers from all over the world. With more than 1,200 exhibitors from more than 60 countries, the event’s robust international participation highlights its worldwide significance. With over 140 talks, the semi-parallel European Coatings Show Conference, which takes place from March 24 to 26, provides a setting for intensive knowledge transfer.
Six of the eight show halls used for the European Coatings Show will be devoted to raw ingredients for paints, printing inks and adhesives, building chemical precursors, and related services. While Hall 4 A unifies all product sectors, Hall 4 will concentrate on laboratory and production technology, testing and measurement systems, application technology, environmental protection, and occupational safety.
Digital highlight: My ECS
The new My ECS platform offers visitors and exhibitors extensive information on the trade fair and all exhibitors and presentations. Thanks to the seamless integration with the ECS App, visitors can prepare their trade fair visit efficiently, while the scanning function allows them to dispense with physical business cards.
Premiere of World Paint and Coatings Week at European Coatings Show
For the first time in the history of the event, the global paint and coatings industry will come together as part of the World Paint and Coatings Week – an initiative led by the World Coatings Council (WCC). This event will take place from 24 to 28 March 2025 to coincide with the European Coatings Show and European Coatings Show Conference in Nuremberg, creating a unique opportunity for industry experts to discuss the latest developments, innovations and regulatory trends. By bringing together industry experts, researchers and policymakers, this gathering will serve as a platform for dialogue on key challenges such as climate change mitigation, resource efficiency, and the transition to bio-based materials. A reception for the World Paint and Coatings Week will be held at 15:00 on 25 March 2025 at the coffee point in Mitte entrance at Exhibition Centre Nuremberg.
European Coatings Show Conference with ECS Conference Award
On 24 March, the day before the exhibition, interested parties can prepare for the show in pre-conference tutorials at the semi-parallel two-and-a-half-day European Coatings Conference. The high-calibre programme begins on 24 March and offers developers and engineers plenty of scope for knowledge transfer thanks to more than 140 presentations. There are two keynote speakers this year. In his presentation “The impossible project: A journey of transformation”, Dr Frank Brouwer, a renewable chemistry specialist at Stahl, discusses the most important changes in the coating segment. In her keynote address, “Designing renewable dynamic polymers for circular and advanced applications”, Professor Katja Loos from the University of Groningen will present her latest research results on bio-based polymers. The highlight of the conference is the presentation of the ECS Conference Award. The €2,000 prize acknowledges the best scientific and technical conference paper and will be presented at 12:45 on 24 March in the exhibition centre’s Tokyo Room. The finishing touch to the first day of the conference will be a poster session and ECS Students’ Award Ceremony from 17:00–18:00 in the St. Petersburg foyer.
Product presentations deliver expert knowledge
In more than 100 product presentations over all three days of the fair, exhibitors will share their expertise on the use of their raw materials, laboratory, production, testing and measuring technology, and services. The presentation stages in Halls 3 and 5 are therefore set to become a focal point for trade visitors seeking fast and concise information about the latest developments. All presentations will be live-streamed and will be available online in video and audio formats after the fair.
Startup Area in Hall 2
The Startup Area in Hall 2 allows startups and fledgling companies from Germany and abroad to present themselves and their product innovations to the professional audience at the European Coatings Show. Additional presentations by startups in the Exhibitor Forum in Hall 3 provide further insights into the sector’s start-up scene.
