The premiere of the Gulf Coatings Show and Conference marked the launch of a hugely successful content-rich event held at Expo Centre Sharjah in UAE.  Vincentz Network and NürnbergMesse (organizers European Coatings Show) have firmly established GCS as the go-to event for the paints and coatings industry in the Middle East.


The Gulf Coating Show has the mission to bring the coating industry together. In addition to the exhibition of many landmarking companies and institutes, attendees and exhibitors will also be able to join the Gulf Coatings Conference aligned with the exhibition. First-rate speakers will share state-of-the-art coatings technology insights, covering all major segments of the industry, tailored to the needs and interests of the region. This new information and inspiration forum will support and network the Gulf's proud industry.



Established in 1977 by the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Expo Centre Sharjah was the first facility of its kind in the UAE and today, with its recent expansion, is at the forefront of trade fairs, exhibitions and conventions in the region.
