The European Coatings Show plus Adhesives, Sealants, Construction Chemicals (ECS), is the paint and coatings industry’s leading event held every other year. ECS returns to Nuremberg, Germany this March 29-31. The 806 exhibitors who visited Nuremberg for the European Coatings Show 2009 from 42 countries offered the 19,756 trade visitors from 100 countries a world-class range of raw materials, laboratory and production equipment, testing and measuring equipment, and services on a net display area of 27,490 square meters.
Four months before its start at the end of March, the ECS 2011 had already exceeded the size of the previous event in 2009. Anticipating more than 20,000 trade visitors from approximately 100 nations, according to show organizers Vincentz Network, ECS 2011 is poised once again to prove it is the global paint and coatings industry’s most important attraction.
European Coatings Congress
Running alongside the ESC, the European Coatings Congress (ECC) will run March 28-30. In 2009 ECC included 461 conference participants. This year it will again cover the entire range of raw materials and processes for the formulation of coatings, inks, adhesives, sealants and construction chemicals. Approximately 160 selected papers in 25 sessions will present scientific and technical insights on how to address today´s challenges of increasing customer and legislative demands for both enhanced coatings performance and greater environmental benefit.
The eleventh edition of the European Coatings Congress again promises to be a highlight. Congress participants can visit a variety of lectures at a total of 25 sessions. The program ranges from architectural coatings, wood coatings, protective coatings, automobile coatings, smart coatings, sustainability and biobased coatings, powder coatings, marine coatings, waterborne coatings, pigments, production processes, radiation curing, functional materials, novel materials, polyurethanes and nanotechnology to adhesives and sealants, construction chemicals and printing inks.
The best presentation at the congress will receive the European Coatings Award again in 2011, which includes a prestigious sculpture and prize money of €2,000.
