Feedback
"The Interlakokraska long history reflects all development stages of the Russian paint and coatings industry. The success of this dedicated forum can be explained by importance of the paint and coatings industry for all sectors of economy."
Sergey Tsyb, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation
"Our association participates in this trade show every year. In our opinion, Interlakokraska improves year after year. The organizers have conducted a very good advertising campaign and I’d like to thank Expocentre. For us it is an opportunity to discuss the most relevant issues concerning the current state of the paint and coatings industry, which have compiled for a year and.
In 2012-2016 profit of industry enterprises grew by 2.5, the volume of high tech products by 3.5, and capital investments, by 4 times. The share of the paint and coatings industry in the chemical sector reached 3.3%.
Competition between Russian companies and foreign companies operating in Russia is the reality which we’ll face in the coming years. The industry community sees the development of the Russian paint and coatings industry in improving the efficiency and competitiveness of the companies and in ensuring equal access to consumers and resources for production and development."
Gennady Averyanov, Director of Centrlack Association
"Interlakokraska is a networking place which brings together a lot of partners who try to initiate something new for the industry development and for the market. We attended the stands of raw material suppliers featuring products which were new even for me. Today at the trade show we are surprised by large-scale stands of paint and coating manufacturers which have not exhibited for a long time. It is a message to others, especially new market players, that it's a must-attend event to show yourself."
Valery Abramov, General Director, Russian Coating Corp.
