Now staged only every two years, the United Kingdom‘s Surface World exhibition will be held this year in the new Hall 10 at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC), Birmingham, UK, on 16, 17 and 18 September, 2003.  This year the event will provide considerable added value, as the first Surface World Conference will also be held at the NEC alongside the exhibition.

The event will be the largest of its kind in the UK‘s surface finishing sector until 2005, and will cover all aspects of product finishing, surface treatment and industrial coatings.  This includes wet paint, powder and specialised coatings, electroplating, anodising and galvanising, pre- and post-treatments, effluent control, testing, measurement and quality assurance, health and safety and materials handling.

The Surface World Conference will major on the aerospace and automotive industries, new technology and the environment.

A wide variety of plant, equipment and materials manufacturers and suppliers, from both the UK and overseas, have already signed up for the exhibition, which will serve as an important sales and marketing platform for their latest processes, products and services.  (An exhibitors‘ list is available on request - see contact details below).

The Surface World 2003 Exhibition & Conference is organised by Hill Media Ltd, sponsored and promoted by Surface World magazine, and supported by the UK‘s Institute of Metal Finishing (IMF), the British Surface Treatment Suppliers Association (BSTSA) and the Metal Finishing Association (MFA).
