On May 20, 2026, we will be in Milan at the “Fondazione Cariplo Congress Center” to take part in SMART’26, the conference organized by UCIF-Anima dedicated to surface treatment and finishing technologies.
The theme of the 2026 edition, Sustainability is value creation: how innovation, AI and digitalization drive change, highlights the role of advanced technologies in transforming industrial processes. SMART represents a key opportunity for discussion among companies, experts and the research community, aimed at sharing insights, experiences and practical solutions to support competitiveness and industrial transition.
We will be participating as official speakers within the event program. More details about our speech will be shared soon!
PaintExpo 2026 is over, but some moments stay with you longer than others. Long days, constant movement, conversations one after another. The kind of rhythm that leaves you tired, but in the right way.
From the very first day, the feeling was clear. The stand was full, the flow never really stopped, and most importantly, the quality of the conversations was high. People weren’t just passing by. They came with questions, needs, real projects in mind.
One of the most meaningful parts of the week was seeing our distributors working side by side with us at the stand. Australia, France, Turkey, Slovenia, Serbia, Portugal, Poland, Estonia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia. Different countries, different markets, but the same direction. Spending those days together, talking to customers, sharing ideas and experiences, made everything more concrete.
At the center of most conversations, once again, was stripping. Not as a secondary process, but as a key part of production efficiency. Our ISP technology, for inline stripping, confirmed its role as a reference point. The level of interest was so high that we ran out of all 200 brochures we brought to the fair.
Alongside ISP, we also presented our immersion solutions, including T5 and T2 120 Mix, as well as our Drizzling system.
Because if there’s one thing this edition made clear, it’s this: even in a complex global scenario, where uncertainty is affecting many industries, the will to invest is still there. And it’s not generic. It’s focused. More and more companies are looking at their processes, asking how to make them more efficient, more reliable, more sustainable. Stripping is part of that conversation, more than ever.
Looking back, what we bring home is not just contacts or numbers. It’s the feeling of having been part of something active. Of having shared time, ideas and direction with people who are moving in the same way.
Paint Tech Group is a technical partner, used to working side by side with manufacturing companies and managing complex industrial processes. They don’t just supply products: they step into problems, analyze them, and solve them.
And that’s exactly what a market like Hungary needs, where automotive and metalworking demand increasingly efficient and controlled processes.
Together, we will bring not only ALIT technologies, but also our approach: analysis, testing, and continuous support.
Our network, our strength
Every new distributor is one more relationship. That’s how we grow: by building strong connections based on expertise, trust, and shared goals.
