Exhibitors will highlight innovations, technologies, processes and services for designing, running and optimizing processes in order to meet the great demands for quality and flexibility, as well as material, energy and cost efficiency for the painting and coating of components made of metals, plastics, wood, wooden materials, glass, material combinations and more. This begins with parts pretreatment and includes everything from systems and application technology, conveyor systems and drying to quality assurance and packaging of the coated products.

There will also be a focus on new and further developed solutions for all types of coating processes, including ultra-high-solid systems, chrome replacement coatings, gel coats and systems which provide coated surfaces with special functional and/or decorative properties, improved corrosion protection and reduced consumption of materials and energy.
Simulation and automation of the coating process will also be featured. In the field of job-shop coating, Industry 4.0 is also gaining relevance with the digital integration of the coating process into production.
