Due to the current crisis surrounding the coronavirus, the organizers of SurfaceTechnology GERMANY have postponed the international trade fair for surface technology. The event, originally planned for June 2020, will move into autumn. The new date is 27–29 October 2020 in Stuttgart parallel to parts2clean.
Now SurfaceTechnology GERMANY in Stuttgart has been postponed as well: the new date is 27–29 October 2020. “We were very well prepared, but we do not have a choice,” says Olaf Daebler, Global Director of SurfaceTechnology GERMANY. “A postponement of SurfaceTechnology GERMANY is absolutely necessary due to the decree situation in BadenWürttemberg. However, we are glad that we have managed to find an alternative date for the surface technology industry, which will then be able to launch new business in Stuttgart in the fall following the
