Leading exhibitors note they have high expectations for this year’s show.
The European Coatings Show (ECS) plus Adhesives, Sealants, Construction Chemicals is held every two years at Messe Nuremberg in Nuremberg, Germany. This year’s ECS, which is organized by Vincentz Network, is on track to break records for exhibitors and attendees. Leading exhibitors note they have high exhibitions for this year’s show.
“ECS is traditionally our strongest show with a lot of new leads and many of our existing EU customers visiting for a discussion,” said Robert Ruckle, global marketing and sales director, Siltech Corporation.
“We are highly anticipating this year’s European Coatings Show, as it provides an incredible opportunity to connect with industry leaders, showcase our latest innovations, and engage in meaningful discussions about the future of coatings technology,” Caitlin Ramsey, senior manager, marketing communications for Vibrantz Technologies, said. “ECS is a key event for us to highlight our expanding portfolio, including sustainable solutions and advancements in tinting technology, while strengthening relationships with customers and partners.”
Nigel Atkinson, VP – paints & coatings for Arxada, noted that Arxada is deeply committed to the paints and coatings industry.
“The ECS is the ideal event for connecting with customers and sharing our innovations, technical leadership, and regulatory expertise,” said Atkinson. “It’s also the perfect venue for the launches of our innovative Polyboost multifunctional additive and our TIME controlled release dry-film preservatives. We’re looking forward to discussing what we have to offer at stand 4A-436 as we usher in the dawn of a new age of innovation.”
“We also have some exciting launch promotions at the show, including our social media plant-a-tree initiative,” Atkinson added. “We’re inviting attendees to snap a photo of Arxada’s Polyboost flying ship hovering over the Entrance Mitte, or of themselves at our Polyboost selfie wall in stand 4A-436. We’ll plant a tree for every photo posted to social media and tagged #polyboost. More information on this promotion can be found on our Polyboost posters on the U-Bahn Messe station platform. This fun initiative is an example of Arxada’s sustainability mindset and green ethos, as well as our commitment to innovation. We hope to be sponsoring the planting of many trees.”
