In this video, Maggie shares exclusive insights from Surfex 2026, the UK’s premier event for surface, paint, and coatings technology.

Maggie spoke directly with Lawrence Industries, Raken Group, Divine Chemicals, Afcona Chemicals and Xyntra Chemicals, who each found the event to be a valuable platform for connecting with R&D professionals. Despite visitor numbers appearing lower, the quality of leads was notably higher.

The importance of presentation and exhibition stand design was a popular topic among exhibitors at Surfex. Several companies, including Lawrence Industries, Raken Group and Divine Chemicals, emphasise that having a modern, professional and engaging exhibition stand is crucial for standing out and clearly explaining their services.
