See how successful the European Coatings Show 2025 was

Take a closer look at the highlights of ECS 2025 and visit us again in Nuremberg from 27 – 29 April 2027.

The organisers of the European Coatings Show 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for the international coatings industry, look back on three successful days from 25 to 27 March 2025. A total of around 25,700 trade visitors from 120 countries attended the exhibition centre in Nuremberg. 1,215 exhibitors from 46 countries showcased their innovations and new products accross a record exhibition area of more than 40,000 square metres.

This year’s ECS once again provided us with an excellent platform for direct interaction with prospective customers and business partners. Our discussions focused on innovative and more sustainable additive solutions for PFAS-free formulations, which was of great interest to our visitors and reflects the worldwide growing demand for environmentally friendly products.

Our fully automated digital laboratory, the HTS system, also attracted a lot of attention. […] A dynamic atmosphere, high-quality discussions and an international mix of visitors are key criteria for a successful trade show for us. In this respect, ECS once again fully met our expectations.

ECS 2025 has once again proven that it is the central meeting place for our industry – a hotspot for collaboration, innovation and progress. What sets this trade fair apart is its clear focus on the entire value chain of the coatings and surface treatment industry. It brings together global market leaders and visionary start-ups to showcase ground-breaking technologies.

This year has shown particularly clearly that Europe remains a driving force in our industry. The strong partnerships and high level of innovation we experienced here reflect a dynamic market that is driving the shift towards greater sustainability and a circular economy.

At Covestro, we are proud to contribute to this progress. The exchange with our customers and partners has once again shown how essential collaboration is in shaping the future of the coatings industry. We leave the show inspired and motivated to continue driving innovation.
