Surface treatment to have its own space at Subcontratación 2017

Conferences and exhibition combined under one brand – Polveri & ecoCoating

The future of powder coatings and paints with a low environmental impact will be present at SUBCONTRATACIÓN 2017, from 6 to 8 June, thanks to the agreement signed just this week between Bilbao Exhibition Centre and Reconal Ediciones. This special surface treatment space, under the brand Polveri & ecoCoating, will showcase highly specialised technology and services to all companies working in industrial manufacturing.

The powder coating sector is currently looking for new opportunities to develop and to grow as a market, both in Europe and beyond. In this context, Polveri will offer the chance to analyse the current and future situation in depth, with several highly technical talks that will cover the entire powder coating cycle – from pre-treatment to application and curing – and will explore new markets such as anti-corrosion applications and heat sensitive materials. On the other hand, the ecoCoating conferences will focus on low environmental impact paints, which replace more polluting organic systems, and their different fields of application.

Polveri & ecoCoating will combine conference with exhibition, and companies that supply machinery, equipment, consumables and services will be offering advice on the qualitative and economic potential of their latest developments, as well as tailor-made solutions for buyers. The visitors’ profile of this new space belong to following sectors: aeronautics, architecture, automotive, construction and light carpentry, electricity and electronics, household appliances, railway, naval, sports machinery and equipment, metal mechanics and capital goods.

Lastly, Polveri & ecoCoating will generate very interesting synergies as part of the International Fair of Manufacturing Processes and Equipment, and also when interconnected with other events: ADDIT3D, International Trade Show on Additive and 3D Manufacturing; FERROFORMA, International Hardware, DIY and Industrial Supplies Fair; FITMAQ, International Fair of Bargain & Used Machinery; MAINTENANCE, Industrial Maintenance Fair; and PUMPS & VALVES, International Trade Show for Pump Systems, Valves and Equipment for Industrial Processes. All six events are being held simultaneously at Bilbao Exhibition Centre next year, creating a large industrial platform.
