ABOUT THE FAIR
The "Dye+Chem Sri Lanka" is a highly specialized trade fair focusing on chemicals and surface treatment technologies. The aim of this event is to bridge the gap between manufacturing and services in this sector. Manufacturers and suppliers of chemicals, machinery, equipment, and technologies meet companies offering services in coatings and surface engineering. Thus, the fair becomes a global meeting point for professionals who want to learn about the latest technologies and developments and establish or strengthen business relationships.
The term "Dye+Chem" represents the core areas of the fair – dyes and chemicals. The venue is the Sri Lanka Exhibition & Convention Centre (SLECC) in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The fair is held biannually and organized by CEMS Conference & Exhibition Management Services Ltd.
At the heart of the fair are a wide range of products and services from the chemical industry. These include adhesives, catalysts, basic chemicals, chemical intermediates, corrosion inhibitors, dyes, pigments, as well as equipment and instruments for chemical control. The exhibitors represent various sectors of the chemical industry and adjacent sectors.
The fair, with its local connection to Sri Lanka, strengthens the economic development of the country and serves as a platform for domestic and international companies. Special highlights of the fair include diverse lectures and presentations that shed light on the latest trends and developments in the industry.
The audience of the fair mainly consists of industrial managers, production representatives, buyers from the manufacturing industry, decision-makers, as well as professionals from related industries. The fair is part of a series of "Dye+Chem" exhibitions in South and Southeast Asia, underscoring its importance as a regional event.
The Sri Lanka Exhibition & Convention Centre (SLECC) in Colombo, as the venue, is known for its easy accessibility and state-of-the-art facilities for exhibitors and visitors.
