The joint stand of the Zentralverband Oberflächentechnik e.V. (ZVO) has been an integral and unmissable part of SurfaceTechnology GERMANY for years – and at the same time a central attraction for trade visitors and media representatives. The ZVO will continue this success story in 2026, presenting itself with an impressive display in Hall 1, Booth C41, from May 5 to 7.

On around 2,500 square meters of exhibition space, 60 co-exhibitors will showcase surface technology as a continuous, holistic process: Companies from the skilled trades and industry will be represented, from contract finishers and coaters to suppliers of raw materials and process chemicals to plant engineering, component and accessory suppliers. The spectrum will be complemented by institutes and specialized service providers.

The overall coating concept on display covers the entire process chain of electroplating and surface technology – from component cleaning and pretreatment to surface finishing (contract electroplating, contract coating) to quality assurance, testing, and accompanying services such as software solutions and laboratory services.

Trade visitors to the ZVO joint stand will gain a comprehensive overview of the diversity, performance and innovative strength of the industry – all in one central meeting place at SurfaceTechnology GERMANY 2026.
