Over 200 exhibitors from 28 countries have confirmed their participation in the event, representing an excellent cross-section of the fine and speciality chemicals industry, with strong involvement of Germany, India, the USA, France, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Belgium.

“The fine and speciality chemicals industry operates in a rapidly changing market and experiences many challenges. Digital transformation, supply chain resilience, circular economy, green deal, and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals are compelling topics that the industry is focusing on right now”, comments Liljana Goszdziewski, Chemspec Europe’s Portfolio Director and on behalf of the organiser Mack-Brooks Exhibitions. “These aspects and the need for cost reduction determine the industry, forcing companies to continuously adapt to markets and customer needs. At Chemspec Europe, the industry has the opportunity to keep up to date with the latest industry trends and product innovations and meet the right business partners”, concludes Liljana Goszdziewski.
