Bigger than ever with 687 (2003, p. 646) exhibitors and 19,886 trade visitors (2003: 16,229)[1], the European Coatings Show 2005 plus Adhesives, Sealants, Construction Chemicals captivated international producers of coatings, printing inks, adhesives and construction chemicals and their suppliers in Nürnberg. Many technical innovations were presented in the exhibition halls and at the congresses in the new congress centre CCN Ost from 25-28 April 2005. Well-known representatives from universities, associations and institutes discussed the latest trends with the worldwide industry.

The international share has also clearly increased and the exhibition can now claim to be a global economic indicator for the industries represented. The share of foreign exhibitors has grown substantially to a good 57 per cent (2003: 51 per cent), and there was also definite growth in the number of international visitors and congress participants (56 per cent). “The European Coatings Show has impressively extended its leading international role”, say a delighted Esther Schwencke, Head of Events Division at Vincentz Network, and Richard Krowoza, Project Manager at NürnbergMesse, the two event partners of the European Coatings Show.
