review 2018
The leading global network for discussing current strategies in painting technology and new processes, equipment and materials will meet again in June 2022 in Berlin, Germany!
How is the paint shop of the future paving the way to green factory 2050
The automotive industry is in the midst of a transformation: Alternative powertrains, new concepts, and suitable energy storage systems are the main challenges for automobile manufacturers. Therefore, also production has to cover the new needs of the automotive industry. Especially the paint shop faces challenges as the need to reduced CO2- and VOC-emissions, energy savings and increasing sustainability. Smart design of equipment and painting process, digitalization, and latest energy management systems is the order of the day. Last but not least, co-operations between OEM and suppliers are an important tool for new technical developments.
These and other factors are discussed during the conference Strategies in Car Body Painting that gathers in 2022 once again the leading network of car body painting experts in Berlin. Meet representatives from international OEM, suppliers and institutes and join experts talk about the latest developments. Discuss forthcoming challenges in automotive surface treatment and in forward-looking paint shops. Use this opportunity to exchange ideas on genuine technical innovations and to push ahead the global network (Europe, Asia and NAFTA).
