Since its inception in 1996, CHINACOAT has been dedicated to providing an international trading platform for suppliers and manufacturers of the coatings industry to connect with global trade visitors, particularly from China and Asia. The show is held annually and alternates its venue between the cities of Guangzhou and Shanghai, P. R. China. The scale of our 2018 Guangzhou edition reached its historic high, with a total of 35,540 trade visitors from 91 countries/regions, 1,291 exhibitors from 31 countries/regions and a gross exhibition area of over 78,500 square meters. In 2019, CHINACOAT will return to Shanghai where the global coatings community will meet once again!
