Surface & Coatings Bangkok

Surface & Coatings in Bangkok is an annual international trade fair dedicated entirely to surface and coating technologies. Since its inception in 2013, it has established itself as a key platform for professionals from major industries such as automotive, aerospace, construction, electronics, and general mechanical engineering. The event is organized by RX BITEC (formerly RX Tradex), a seasoned trade fair organizer in the Asia-Pacific region.

The exhibition covers the entire surface treatment process chain, including industrial painting, powder coating, electroplating, nanotechnology-based coatings, and innovative corrosion protection solutions for a wide range of materials such as metal and concrete. Functional coatings with antimicrobial or scratch-resistant properties, as well as decorative surface finishes, are also key topics.

The fair emphasizes the connection between technology and application. Leading manufacturers showcase coating systems, curing and drying technologies, automated application techniques, as well as specialty chemicals, paints, lacquers, and resins for surface modification. Quality assurance plays a prominent role as well, with modern solutions such as layer thickness measurement devices and non-destructive testing methods on display for industrial use.

Sustainable technologies are another central focus—featuring environmentally friendly, water-based coatings, low-solvent processes, and systems for recycling coating materials. These reflect the growing importance of environmental awareness across industries.

Surface & Coatings is part of the Manufacturing Expo and takes place at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC), one of Southeast Asia’s most modern and well-equipped exhibition venues. BITEC impresses with its excellent infrastructure, strong connectivity to national and international transport networks, and comprehensive services for both exhibitors and visitors.

With its clear thematic focus, a wide range of specialized exhibitors, and an international professional audience, Surface & Coatings has become a major industry event for anyone involved in surface technology or seeking to stay informed about the latest developments. Held annually in Bangkok, it is open exclusively to trade visitors.

The Surface & Coatings will take place on 4 days from Wednesday, 17. June to Saturday, 20. June 2026 in Bangkok.
