Very Good Signs for PaintExpo 2024
Preparations for the ninth edition of
PaintExpo are in the final stages, and
the signs for the world‘s leading trade
fair for industrial coating technology
from 9 to 12 April 2024 in Karlsruhe are
very good: Around 430 exhibitors from
Germany and abroad are expected.
The globally unique concentration of
companies from the coating technology
sector ensures a strong attraction
for users from contract coating companies,
in-house coating services and
all players in the coating technology
sector. The trade fair is the industry‘s
most important international platform
and visitors will have the opportunity
to experience numerous world premieres
and find out about technological
developments in sustainable and
energy-efficient coating processes for
the future.

Around 430 exhibitors - including the who‘s
who of the coating technology industry with
its market and technology leaders - will fill
three exhibition halls for four days at PaintExpo
2024 in Karlsruhe. The exhibitors at
the world‘s leading trade fair for industrial
coating technology will cover the full range
of products and services across the entire
supply chain. Over 40 per cent of exhibitors
are international. Most companies from
outside Germany are from Italy, Turkey and
Switzerland. However, the trade fair attracts
exhibitors from far beyond Europe and
companies from countries such as the US,
India and China are also represented.
„The signs for PaintExpo 2024 are very
good - despite the current challenging conditions.
We can already sense tremendous
excitement building for PaintExpo among
exhibitors and visitors alike. The world‘s
leading trade fair for industrial coating technology
will once again offer the industry the
perfect venue for holding in-depth technical
discussions, planning concrete projects and
making investment decisions. Visitors can
also expect to experience a wealth of innovative
product highlights at the exhibition
stands,“ says Markus Geisenberger, Chief
Executive Officer of Leipziger Messe.
Smart Solutions in Coating
One of the companies showcasing smart
solutions at PaintExpo in Karlsruhe is
WAGNER, exhibiting manual and automatic
spray guns with highly effective coating
performance and low material usage. WAG-
NER‘s new high-speed rotating atomisers
for solvents and water-based coatings play a
major role in implementing fully automated
wet-coating systems and robotic solutions.
The company has also made its pumps for
wet coating significantly easier to flush. The
Cobra high-press double diaphragm pump
has been optimised to significantly reduce
the amount of flushing agent and therefore
also the amount of time needed for changing
colours.
When it comes to powder coating,
WAGNER will be emphasising efficiency
and automation. In manual coating, the
focus will be on how the use of assistance
functions can help even inexperienced staff
carry out coating tasks in accordance with
requirements. Visitors to the company‘s
stand can also learn how to master the transition
to fully automated coating processes
using axis and robotic technologies.
Numerous World Premieres in Electrostatic
Powder-Coating Technology
At the Gema Switzerland stand, several products
are being presented for the first time.
The Swiss company‘s innovations include
a new series of automatic spray guns with
models for organic and enamel powders as
well as robotic applications. Gema will also
be showcasing new application pumps that
combine an advanced powder-loading technology
with the second generation of SIT
dense-phase powder delivery technology in
a single unit.
Furthermore, Gema is presenting a
fully automated powder management system
featuring an intuitive user interface
for switching colours efficiently. The system
also comes available with two powder
hoppers, allowing users to apply two different
colours one after another in rapid
succession.
