The UKs must-attend coatings event in 2016

24-26 May 2016 | NEC Birmingham, UK
For the first time Surfex, the UKs leading coatings show, is being held in conjunction with the
renowned European Technical Coatings Congress (ETCC).
Surfex is the UKs biannual coatings show with a target of over 2,500 technical and commercial
personnel, buyers, engineers and senior managers seeking individual solutions in the areas of chemicals and raw materials, inks, resins, adhesives and sealants, protective coatings, paint application and
surface preparation, corrosion and construction chemicals, test equipment and manufacturing plants.
ETCC is co-organised by The Oil and Colour Chemists Association (OCCA) and the Federation of
Associations of Technicians for Industry of Paints in European Countries (FATIPEC). It belongs to one
of the most important European congresses for the coatings industry. The congress expects
participation of some 300 manufacturers, raw material suppliers and academia and is featuring 40
top-notch papers addressing innovations in coatings, science and technology.
Both expert events take place at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, UK.

Surfex: 24 + 25 May 2016

ETCC: 25 + 26 May 2016
