Strategies in Car Body Painting 2024
In view of the major upheavals and challenges in the automotive industry – such as the electrification of the drive, questions about energy supply in production, the need for more sustainability and digitalization – it is now more important than ever to pool knowledge and drive forward technological transformation through mutual exchange. This is the prerequisite for the automotive industry to remain a driver of innovation, which will continue to create desirable products that meet the requirements of the zeitgeist. Agility and speed of development are required, as well as resilient, circular and sustainable supply chains etc., that ensure competitiveness in the future. “Strategies in Car Body Painting 2024” ensures this development of competence.
The conference once again gathers 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).
We are looking forward to meeting you in Berlin (Germany) in July 2024!
