South India has established itself as a gateway of the Country with large manufacturing hub for Automobile, Auto-components, Petroleum, Chemical, Steel, Sugar, Cement, Power, Electronics, Heavy Engineering and Engineering products at various industrial clusters. Surface Coating plays an important role in any product manufacturing in terms of improvement in aesthetics, life of products and in some case performance. Also, a better surface coating reduces the corrosion which otherwise results in huge losses on terms of material and manpower.
Understanding the importance and need for surface preparation, treatment and coating in some or
the other forms, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has conceptualized a new
initiative “Surface & Coating Expo” in 2014, to benefit various industrial sectors. With
Four successful editions, the Surface & Coating Expo had received an overwhelming response from
the stakeholders of the industry across the globe. Over the years, the event has evolved as
India's Largest and Exclusive Event Focused on Surface Engineering, Preparation,
Coatings, Finishing, Corrosion Protection, Environmental Engineering and Technologies, under the
guidance of a strong industry-led Steering Committee.
The event had attracted International participation from China, Denmark, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey UAE, UK USA & Vietnam.
Given this background, CII is organising the 5th edition of “Surface & Coating Expo” (SCE2025) is scheduled from 17 - 19 July 2025, at Chennai Trade Centre, Chennai, India.
This 3-Day Exhibition and Conference would set a platform for all the stakeholders of the Surface Coating Industry - manufacturers, distributors, solution providers, traders, end users and policy makers across the globe to meet, network, interact and establish new opportunities. International Conferences and Certified Training Course will be organised along with the Exhibition.
The 5th edition of the “Technology Conference and Exhibition on Electroplating” (TCEE2025) will be organized concurrently with SCE2025. This event will showcase the state of art technology, trends, and latest developments in the Electroplating Industry.
The 3rd edition of “AutoMatFab Expo” will focus on the materials, fabrication & manufacturing technologies and solutions for the procedures involved in Automobile Fabrication and Sheet Metal Work. This will complement with the SCE2025.
CII is organising its 3rd edition of “Adhesives and Sealants - Summit & Expo” concurrently with SCE2025. This initiative will provide a platform to showcase on the latest trends, innovations, sustainability and technological advances and will also connect the bonding technology providers like Adhesive, Sealants, raw material, processing equipment, software, dispensing systems, consulting services, manufacturer / formulator and testing equipment with the end stakeholders across the country and globe.
