The company's exhibition will focus on technologies designed to make everyday workshop processes more efficient, safer and more economical.

For over three decades, MIPA SE has been showcasing its latest innovations for professional refinish workshops at Automechanika Frankfurt.
This year, the company’s exhibition will focus on technologies designed to make everyday workshop processes more efficient, safer, and more economical.
At Automechanika 2026, MIPA once again underlines its commitment to integrating innovative technologies into everyday workshop operations while combining digital solutions with maximum process reliability.
At the heart of this year’s presentation is Smart Mixing, MIPA’s future-oriented concept that combines modern color measurement, intelligent software, artificial intelligence, and automated mixing technology into one seamless digital workflow. The aim is to simplify processes, save time and ensure maximum color accuracy with consistently reproducible results.
A key highlight is MIPA’s software solution for location-independent color measurement, color evaluation, formula selection and color mixing. Color measurements can be taken directly on the vehicle, while the measurement data is transferred via the cloud to a mobile device or workstation.
Alongside its latest software developments, MIPA will present its complete Smart Mixing concept, including fully and semi-automatic mixing systems. The fully automatic Mipa Abtönautomaten CR 4 and CR 6 use volumetric dosing technology and enable high-precision mixing even with quantities as small as 0.01 g.
The Mipa Sunrace offers a semi-automatic alternative, providing precise dispensing directly from the original Mipa WBC mixing toner bottles without decanting and with intuitive visual operator guidance.
MIPA will also showcase innovative digital color matching solutions for industrial coating applications. In combination with the Pro Mix Industry and Pro Mix Aqua mixing systems, the X-Rite MA 5C color measurement device delivers precise color measurement for industrial applications.
The focus will be on the new Pro Mix Powder Pigments Decorative Metal, which allows surfaces with the appearance and feel of real metal to be created. The powdered pigments can be used in combination with Pro Mix Industry bases to create sprayable coatings containing real metals such as zinc, brass, bronze, copper, iron, or graphite, resulting in exceptional design surfaces with the authentic appearance and feel of real metal.
MIPA will also present further solutions for economical and sustainable coating processes. The focus will be on energy-saving systems as well as products that ensure a high level of application reliability, even at elevated temperatures, meeting the evolving requirements of modern paint shops.
Visitors can experience the latest developments live from 8 to 12 September 2026 at the MIPA stand F.02–F.04, Hall 11.1.
