Great interest is already being shown in “Adhesives Bonding & Sealants – ABS Europe 2026”, the first trade show in Italy for the adhesives, glues, and sealants industry, which will be held from 27 to 29 October 2026, at the Vicenza Exhibition Centre. The event, organized by Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) and A151, aims to bring together events and professionals interested in this rapidly developing sector in both Europe and around the world. The latest innovations in the production of adhesives, bonding agents, sealants, foams, tapes, glues, resins, paints, coatings, laminates, and films will be on display. The entire production and supply chain, from raw materials to machinery, from technologies to systems and equipment, and solutions to services will also be on display. The event offers a unique opportunity to connect with industry leaders, explore cutting-edge innovations, and discover future market trends. Over 100 exhibitors and approximately 5,000 visitors are expected. C.M.C. Macchine per Converting Cevenini, Guidolin Girotto, Futura – TTT, and PFR, among others, have already signed up. The program also includes a series of conferences and lectures on current hot topics.
“High-performance adhesives are increasingly replacing traditional fasteners like screws and bolts, driving innovation in sectors such as electronics, mechanics, packaging, graphics, printing, automotive, aerospace, furniture, and appliances,” said Marco Pinetti, Director of A151, and the event. “Likewise, coatings and paints play a crucial role in all sectors, offering technological innovations that companies cannot afford to overlook. With growing demand and continued industry growth, the performance of adhesives, coatings, and sealants is more crucial than ever for product quality and production efficiency. Italy boasts a well-established reputation for excellence in this field, making “ABS Europe 2026″ a key event for manufacturers, distributors, and industry leaders in Italy and the Mediterranean region.”
Two other important events, also focused on the manufacturing industry, will be held concurrently with “ABS Europe 2026”: “A&T Nordest – Automation & Testing,” the trade show for technologies, automation, testing, intralogistics, and innovation for the manufacturing industry, now in its fourth year and already attracting over 12,000 professional visitors; and “Expo Industria 2026,” encompassing welding, tools, accident prevention, packaging, and cleaning. “These three events will occupy an exhibition space of over 30,000 square meters,” said Marco Cecchini, Business Development Manager Italy & EU by IEG, “hosting hundreds of companies showcasing the latest technologies, new products, and innovative solutions. Together, they will create the ideal platform for innovation, networking, and industry insights in Europe and the rest of the world.”
