Kenya and Eastern Africa’s Premier Exhibition for Paints, Coatings, Inks, Adhesives & Surface Technologies

Africa Coatings Expo – Kenya & Eastern Africa Edition is a specialist B2B trade exhibition and technology platform serving the rapidly growing paints, coatings, inks, adhesives, sealants and surface-treatment industries across Kenya and Eastern Africa.

Hosted in Nairobi, Kenya, the Expo brings together international and African manufacturers, raw-material suppliers, formulators, technology providers, distributors and industry experts with paint and coatings manufacturers, construction companies, infrastructure developers, furniture and wood-product manufacturers, automotive companies, packaging and printing businesses, industrial manufacturers and other major users of coatings and surface technologies.

The Expo showcases the complete coatings value chain, including resins, binders, pigments, dyes, solvents, additives, fillers, functional ingredients, polymers, specialty chemicals, adhesives, sealants, surface-treatment products, application technologies, production and mixing equipment, laboratory and testing technologies, packaging and environmental solutions.

Africa Coatings Expo provides a marketplace for companies to discover new technologies, source raw materials, develop formulations, identify distribution partners, enter new markets and build relationships with manufacturers and industrial users across Eastern Africa.

The event also addresses major industry trends including high-performance coatings, water-based and low-VOC formulations, powder coatings, protective and industrial coatings, decorative paints, sustainable and bio-based materials, corrosion protection, construction coatings, automotive coatings, wood coatings, printing inks and advanced surface technologies.

Eastern Africa’s coatings market is on a growth trajectory, driven by rapid urbanization and infrastructure development; rising demand for protective, decorative, and industrial coatings; an expanding middle class and consumer purchasing power; and an increasingly sophisticated local manufacturing sector – for local and regional markets.

The government of Kenya, through its affordable housing program, has become a significant player in boosting demand for coatings and related products
