International. From 2019, Abrafati and NürnbergMesse begin a joint work to carry out the events that the Association created and promotes in odd-numbered years 15 editions ago: the International Congress of Paintings and the International Exhibition of Suppliers for Paintings – this year encompassed in the Abrafati 2019, which will take place at the São Paulo Expo from October 01 to 03.
The event is recognized as one of the most important in its category in the world. It is valued for the quality of its programming and because it brings together the main companies and thousands of professionals and generates positive effects for the Brazilian and Latin American industry over time, in terms of business and technological evolution.
"The alliance with NürnbergMesse, which begins in this edition, covers the operation of Abrafati 2019, and will be very important to add the knowledge of that company to a very successful event, making it take a qualitative leap and align itself with the most innovative in its area in the world," explains Antonio Carlos de Oliveira, executive president of Abrafati.
The NürnbergMesse group is one of the main organizers of fairs in the world, with an important portfolio that highlights more than 120 international exhibitions and congresses, in different parts of the globe. Oliveira maintains that the group serves more than 30,000 exhibitors every year, contributing to stimulate the production of industries, to find the best solutions for its customers and to boost the sectoral economy, objectives that marry perfectly with those of the Abrafati event.
"In addition to its excellent pavilion work, one of the goals of NürnbergMesse is to bring content to its participants, also promoting congresses and symposia, with the support of allies and specialists in the different segments of action. Well, that's what it's all about: Abrafati 2019 is the largest solutions event in the paint and varnish production chain in Latin America, focused on technology, innovation and sustainability, as well as promoting networking opportunities," he says.
Oliveira stresses that the alliance that is now being initiated is also very important for the Abrafati Mission. "It provides a valuable and broad contribution that will make us continue to promote the growth and sustainable development of the paint chain in Brazil, towards excellence in quality and training of the sector with the recognition of consumers," he concludes.
