THE LARGEST GATHERING FOR THE COATINGS COMMUNITY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA

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

The event creates the perfect environment for manufacturers, raw materials suppliers, distributors, buyers and technical specialists like chemists and formulators from the coatings industry to meet face-to-face and do business. The event also offers the opportunity to gather insight on the latest processes, exchange ideas with industry leaders and build a strong network in the African continent.

Taking place from 24-26 June 2026 at the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, South Africa, Coatings For Africa will attract over 2,000 industry professionals from the region looking to connect with global manufacturers and suppliers to meet their coating requirements.
