Car Body Painting – 40th Workshop
FROM DIGITALIZATION TO SPRAY-FILM –TRANSFORMATION IN THE PAINT SHOP
Climate neutrality and minimized CO2 emissions in production – these goals are top priorities with e-mobility and thus in the automotive industry. „Coopetition“, the cooperation competition of large and small companies, is the motto for jointly promoting sustainable concepts and innovative technologies while minimizing costs at the same time. Cooperation between OEMs and suppliers is also a key success factor in car body painting. The current results of this commitment will be presented at this year‘s „Car Body Painting“ conference, when well-known experts will meet in Bad Nauheim, Germany, for a professional exchange. How do the currently installed battery housings affect the paint shop? What progress is there in overspray-free and low-bake processes? What contribution can foiling make to sustainable processes? These and other topics are on this year‘s agenda. With your contribution, take an active part in the discussion about the current status and future challenges in automotive painting
Be part of this network and these discussions – we are looking forward to meeting you in Bad Nauheim or online in November 2023!
