PaintExpo - the world's leading trade fair for painting technology
PaintExpo - B2B trade fair for the painting technology sector brings the surface industry together every two years
PaintExpo has established itself as the world's leading trade fair for industrial painting technology. The international trade fair takes place every two years in April in Karlsruhe. Over the four days of the trade fair, exhibitors present their latest products, trends and services relating to painting. Future technologies and future topics also play a central role.
PaintExpo presents a very large cross-section of painting technologies for a wide variety of industries, ranging from manual application solutions to highly automated systems. The exhibition covers the entire value-added chain, from equipment and systems for wet painting, powder coating and coil coating, a wide variety of application systems and spray guns, as well as wet and powder coatings and general painting-related automation and conveyor technology[10].
PaintExpo's target group
As a B2B trade fair, PaintExpo in Karlsruhe brings together paint technology suppliers with decision-makers on the user side, including managing directors, department and project managers, engineers, skilled workers and plant managers, depending on the size of the company. Visitor evaluations show that most of the trade visitors come from the contract coating, automotive and mechanical engineering sectors.
PaintExpo - how it all began
PaintExpo took place for the first time in 2006 and subsequently every two years under the direction of FairFair GmbH in Karlsruhe. The trade fair grew steadily and would probably have reached its absolute peak in 2020. However, the event had to be canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. In 2022, PaintExpo 2022 was then held for the first time under the direction of Leipziger Messe GmbH.
