Following the spread of the Coronavirus, PaintExpo — the leading trade fair for industrial coating technology planned for 21-24 April 2020 — is now scheduled for 12-15 October at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre.

Jürgen Haußmann, managing director of the show organiser FairFair GmbH, said: “We are very pleased to have found a new date for PaintExpo 2020 so quickly in agreement with Messe Karlsruhe and the exhibitor advisory board.

"Providing planning security for our customers, partners and the entire industry is a top priority for us.”

The organiser also said that the original contracts with about 540 participating companies from 26 countries are still valid without restriction for the new date, as are visitor tickets.

With the exhibition covering the entire process chains for wet painting, powder coating and coil coating, PaintExpo is the world’s largest trade fair in the field of industrial coating.
