www.expolista.comHere are the latest updates I can share about PaintExpo 2026 based on recent announcements.
- PaintExpo 2026 is scheduled for 14–17 April 2026 in Karlsruhe, Germany. It’s billed as the world’s leading trade fair for industrial coating technology, continuing the event’s long-running, international format.[2][4]
- Early exhibitor registrations look strong: more than 260 companies had reserved about 10,000 m2 of space, representing roughly 70% of the prior edition’s footprint, with organizers noting high demand for specific booth placements.[3][2]
- The show is highlighting a fresh design direction focused on vibrant colors and the broader theme of “Paint” as both name and focus, signaling an emphasis on trends, color technologies, and innovations in coatings and automation.[1][2][3]
Additional context you might find helpful:
- Participating regions and notable exhibitors span Europe and beyond, including major German coating equipment makers (e.g., Sames, Krautzberger, Dürr, Eisenmann, SATA) and powder coating players (e.g., J. Wagner, Nordson).[1][2]
- Registration deadlines were noted as late 2025 for general exhibitors, so if you’re planning to attend or exhibit, it’s worth confirming current space availability and any updated deadlines from the official PaintExpo site.[2][1]
If you’d like, I can compile a concise snapshot with key dates, top exhibitors, and a map of the Karlsruhe venue once you confirm whether you want a basic overview or a more detailed exhibitor list.
