About this event

With a rich history of success through its association with the South African Paint Manufacturing Association (SAPMA), Coatings For Africa is the largest dedicated event for the coatings industry in Southern Africa. Over three days, the trade exhibition provides valuable opportunities for serious business and networking within the coatings community.

The event offers the ideal environment for manufacturers, raw material suppliers, distributors, buyers, and technical specialists such as chemists and formulators to meet face to face and conduct business. It also provides a platform to gain insights into the latest processes, exchange ideas with industry leaders and build a strong network across the Southern African region.

Coatings For Africa is a valuable platform for showcasing innovation, building partnerships, and connecting with customers, suppliers and industry leaders across the continent. It highlights the strength and growth of Africa’s coatings market, fostering collaboration, strengthening relationships and driving sustainable business growth.

The event remains a valuable platform for Synthetic Polymers. The exhibition consistently delivers quality leads, valuable networking opportunities and strong business prospects. It is a well-organised event that brings the coatings industry together and we look forward to exhibiting again in 2028.

Coatings For Africa is an invaluable event for SAPMA, bringing together manufacturers, suppliers, regulators and industry stakeholders under one roof. It offers excellent networking opportunities, strengthens industry collaboration and promotes compliance and knowledge sharing. We look forward to participating in future editions.

Coatings For Africa is a must-attend event for the paint and coatings industry.
