As part of the Industrial Spring trade show cycle, EXPO-SURFACE returns to EXPO KIELCE from 6 to 9 April 2027. The event puts surface treatment technologies, industrial coating systems, and advanced finishing solutions front and centre, providing an essential platform for the modern manufacturing sector.
Surface treatment plays a vital role in modern manufacturing, directly impacting a product’s appearance, durability, corrosion resistance, and performance. From industrial and protective coatings to surface preparation, finishing, and quality control, these processes are critical to delivering high-quality end products.
As manufacturers face growing pressure to maintain consistent coating quality, reduce material waste, improve process repeatability, and meet stringent environmental requirements, investment decisions have become increasingly complex. Success requires evaluating the entire surface treatment ecosystem—including application equipment, process automation, surface preparation methods, curing technologies, and inspection systems.
EXPO-SURFACE offers a practical, hands-on environment for navigating these choices. Moving beyond product catalogues and technical spec sheets, the event allows visitors to observe surface treatment equipment operating in real time, compare competing solutions, and discuss specific technical requirements directly with equipment manufacturers and specialists.
Live demonstrations form the core of the EXPO-SURFACE experience. These working displays enable industry professionals to examine coating application techniques, assess process performance, and see firsthand how modern equipment can optimize finishing operations for greater efficiency, consistency, and reliability.
The 2027 edition will benefit significantly from EXPO KIELCE’s brand-new exhibition hall, which expands the venue with approximately 15,500 square metres of primary exhibition space plus an additional 3,000 m2
area. This expansion is ideal for surface treatment exhibitors, as heavy coating systems, industrial lines, and specialized finishing machinery require substantial room for installation, operation, and live demonstrations.
The increased space creates greater opportunities to showcase large-scale equipment and integrated process solutions in action, helping visitors gain a clearer understanding of how these technologies perform and integrate into broader production lines.
Set alongside the wider Industrial Spring event—which gathers complementary CNC machine tools, laser cutting, sheet metal processing, welding, automation, and metrology—EXPO-SURFACE 2027 provides a comprehensive look at the future of industrial coating, surface preparation, and finishing technologies.
