International coating exhibition opens in HCM City
The 10th International Exhibition for Coatings, Colour, Spechem and Printing Ink Industry in Vietnam kicked off in Ho Chi Minh City on June 25, drawing over 500 companies from 18 countries and territories to showcase cutting-edge technologies in coatings, paper, rubber, and plastic.
As one of the most prestigious annual international events in the industry, the expo serves as a prime platform for enterprises to connect, exchange valuable experience, and explore reliable collaboration opportunities with both domestic and international companies.
Enterprises from Germany, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, China, India, Singapore, and Thailand, among others are introducing thousands of modern products, equipment, and solutions at this year's exhibition, demonstrating Vietnam’s increasing position in regional and global supply chains.
The three-day event features various specialised seminars with industry-leading experts addressing key topics currently capturing attention across the industrial supply chain, helping firms stay updated with emerging trends and technologies while identifying market development opportunities.
At the opening ceremony, Director of the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s Vietnam Chemical Agency Phung Manh Ngoc said that the chemical industry, together with supporting industries such as raw material production, mechanical engineering, and sustainable technology solutions, plays an increasingly important role in driving economic growth, creating added value, and expanding domestic and international cooperation.
In the face of Vietnam’s evolving economic landscape and the rise of new growth drivers, especially in processing and manufacturing, both domestic and foreign enterprises are seeking to diversify supply chains and enhance competitiveness. The 2025 exhibition series, he stressed, offers an ideal platform to forge business ties between Vietnamese enterprises and the global industrial community.
