What the Interlakokraska 2026 exhibitors and visitors say

Daniil Altunin, Commercial Director at Industrial Service Technologies

“Interlakokraska is the industry’s main trade show of the year. We pay the most attention to it because we supply coating lines and booths, and equipment for preparing surfaces for painting. That is why, where if not at Interlakokraska we have to showcase ourselves, and find new partners and new contracts.

“Paint technologists, chief engineers and purchasers from various holdings and manufacturing companies from all over Russia come here. The final figures and the main results of our negotiations will be impressive.”

Ivan Gorbunov, Head of Laboratory Equipment Sales at Tecsa

“Interlakokraska is an event that brings together the entire paint and coating industry. This industry is the first love of our company. This is the first industry that we started our development with. It makes Interlakokraska the main show of the year for our company.  

“Here you can meet with all the partners, you can show new equipment, listen to interesting reports at the forum. It is an industry-building event that brings people together. It is a sin to miss it.”

Andrey Belko, Director at the Frem Plant of Additives and Greasings

“Interlakokraska draws virtually the entire space of the former Soviet Union, neighboring and overseas countries, opening up great opportunities for us to develop sales of our products and establish new relationships.

“It is almost six o'clock, but people do not leave our stand. Everyone wants to talk about our new products and the new areas that we are developing. It includes organic and inorganic pigments, which we offer, both of European and Chinese production.

“Participation in the show is an investment in your company and a response to the market that you are alive, you are developing, and you can bring new products both from Europe and from other countries.”

Elena Belova, Sales Director at Afaya

“Interlakokraska is about customers. It is about customer technology. It is about their requirements for the final product. It is all about customers. That is why, for us, Interlakokraska is the people who give us this knowledge about what the market needs in general.

“This is a great opportunity to meet with key customers over four days and introduce them to our suppliers. This is why annual participation is important for us, because it allows us to save money and resources, and most importantly, to reach the important agreements instantly at the moment.

“We have a busy schedule. We started compiling it a month ago, and this allows us to distribute our managers, main fighters and technologists. The experience of participating in the show is great. We inform customers in advance. Due to the fact that we have very good technological customer support, we have all the hours scheduled.”

Oksana Kositsyna, Director General at Allnex Belgorod

“Interlakokraska is a point of unification. There is no doubt. There are a lot of meetings scheduled for all three days without, one might say, even a break. That is, I am talking about both buyers and suppliers of raw materials.

“Interlakokraska helps us as one of the tools to bring the main innovative products to the market. We are the only company in the Russian Federation that produces certain types of products according to international standards. We continue to introduce new products to our product range.

“Interlakokraska is a very interesting platform for meeting new customers, finding new customers, and communicating with existing customers and suppliers.”

Alina Rybina, Advisor to the Russian Chemists Union

“The stand of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade is a communication platform for the right and required dialogue between business and government. The stand is designed as a lecture hall. A rich conference programme takes place throughout the days of the show. We will also talk about government support for enterprises, the resolution of raw materials issues on exports, imports, and so on. In other words, there are a lot of issues related to regulation. I personally believe that the stand at the paint and coating trade show speaks to the importance of developing this sub-industry for our entire country.

“The show of paints and coatings is an opportunity to see new technological developments, new approaches, and new market opportunities.”  

Marina Moskovtseva, Lead Project Manager for Sales Development at ZTI Metalpak

“For us, this show is primarily a place where we have the opportunity to communicate with our beloved and dear customers and receive feedback. This is a space for the development and growth of our business. This is a place where we can see all our customers, competitors, and generally evaluate the paint and coating market as a whole.

“It is important to present our new products at the show, because our company is developing. We have bought a lot of equipment, and we strive to move forward. Thanks to Interlakokraska, we have received very important information for ourselves on the packaging that the market needs now. This is, for example, a small container of 0.35. It is all because some clients came up to us and just asked about it, saying that it was needed here and now. We have adjusted, bought the equipment, and now are launching production of these types of containers.”

Anna Makarova, Head of Sales and New Product Implementation at RusSilica

“This is a relevant event for us. Our RusSilica plant makes products that are very actively used in the paint industry. Here we present our solutions for this industry. There are a lot of our potential customers here, whom we can help solve their problems that arise when using similar components.

“The show is international, and here we meet and share experiences with Chinese partners, Indian partners, and representatives of other Asian countries. Here, at this show, we want to get to know our consumers in more detail and more closely. Then we can speak and present our products to them in lay terms, with the help of our technologist, how we can help solve issues in different industries.”

Evgeniy Kurtov, Director at Peka Chemie Rus

“Interlakokraska is one of the few professional shows in the paint and coating industry. No other show can compare with it in terms of representativeness and the interest of potential customers. Therefore, participation in it is practically the norm. We have to do this if we want to be noticed by our customers. It is also an opportunity to get in touch with many people who, let's just say, are still in doubt whether it is worth working.”

Andrey Li, Head of Sales at Kras

“Participation in a show like this one is always prestigious. You participate, you have your own stand. Interlakokraska is about communicating with new clients. Old customers are returning. They see our development. It helps us a lot. Of course, they are mostly interested in new areas of equipment. You can see for yourself how many people we have at our stand. Everyone is interested in good quality. That is why people come here.”
