European Coatings Show exhibition stands

General view of the Ağaoğlu Silah stand at the fair 2025 in Nurumberg: a 60 sqm maxima system build.

On the stand of a paint or raw material producer at the European Coatings Show the conversation is about colour and surface, and the stand itself must not get in the way. So we keep the walls neutral, choose lighting close to daylight and bring the shade card panel to eye level. The stand is produced in our workshop in Beylikdüzü, sent to Nuremberg by lorry under an ATA Carnet with customs handled by us, and built at Messezentrum Nürnberg by our own crew.

What we do for you at the European Coatings Show

The fair takes place at Messezentrum Nürnberg. Our Aachen office handles the German-language correspondence with the hall management and the on-site support; the technical file, the electricity and rigging applications, the graphics and the print are ours.

On a coatings stand the samples are many and small: painted panels, raw material jars, pigment cards. We collect them in a sample wall with drawers and separate each group with a readable header panel. For chemical samples we build a ventilated, lockable cupboard, and where required we submit the sample list to the hall management together with the technical file. A meeting room with a closing door at the back, a catalogue table at the front and a small kitchen complete the plan.

Stands we have built at this fair and in these halls

Our European Coatings Show project is not yet published on the site. In the same halls we built the 60 square metre maxima stand for Ağaoğlu Silah in 2025; freight, customs and the build for Nuremberg were ours on that job as well. In the paint sector we also work at Turkcoat / paintistanbul in Istanbul and PaintExpo in Karlsruhe, and our chemicals industry page lists the rest.

Which stand type

  • Maxima system: 12 to 200 square metres, built in the hall in 1–3 days. Our first recommendation for stands travelling to Germany by lorry.
  • Custom timber build: 20 to 500 square metres, built in 2–5 days. The right type for companies that want to show the coating itself on the stand walls; we paint the walls with your product.
  • Island and corner stands: from 36 square metres, with the sample wall on the open side facing the aisle.

Timeline

The European Coatings Show runs from 27 to 29 April 2027. Because we set aside a week for freight, the calendar moves forward: the brief, the 3D visual and the budget on 2 March; design approval and the technical file to Nuremberg on 16 March; workshop production and print files on 30 March; the trial assembly, lighting test and loading of the lorry on 20 April. Build in the hall during fair week, the handover walk on 26 April and dismantling on the evening of 29 April. Put your floor area and the number of samples into the quote form; we reply within 48 hours.

Frequently asked

When and where is European Coatings Show 2027?
European Coatings Show 2027 takes place 27–29 April 2027 at Messezentrum Nürnberg (Nuremberg). Dates come from the organiser’s official site; this page is updated if they change.
When should a stand for European Coatings Show 2027 be ordered?
Starting by 2 March 2027 for a custom timber stand, or around 30 March 2027 for a maxima system stand, gives a comfortable schedule. For later starts we first tell you what can still be done.
What should we send for a quote?
The fair name and dates (filled in from this page), your floor area and number of open sides, plus a floor plan and reference images if you have them. The first concept and a written budget frame arrive within a few working days; the concept is free of charge.
Can we show chemical samples on the stand?
We follow the sample rules of the hall and the fair; the lockable, ventilated cupboard is produced in our workshop and, where required, we submit the sample list to the hall management with the technical file. The customs papers for the samples stay on your side, and we list together which document has to be ready when.
Who handles the freight and customs?
We do. The stand leaves under an ATA Carnet, travels to Nuremberg by lorry and returns to Turkey on the same carnet after the fair.
Who builds the stand in Germany?
Our own crew travelling from Turkey, with on-site support from our Aachen office. The stand leaves the workshop after a trial assembly and test, and stands in the hall within 1–3 days. The day before opening we walk it together and hand it over with a written guarantee.
We want our shade cards to look right. How do you choose the lighting?
The sample wall gets lighting close to daylight colour temperature; warm light is used only in the seating corner. If you bring your shade cards to the trial assembly we adjust the lighting together, and the wall colour is chosen in a neutral tone that does not compete with the cards.
