Registration is now open for Chemspec Europe 2026, which will return to Koelnmesse in Cologne on 6–7 May 2026. The event is a key international meeting point for the fine and speciality chemicals sector, bringing together producers, buyers and technical experts from pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, speciality materials, coatings, personal care, electronics and energy.
With strong early exhibitor commitment, the exhibition is expected to feature more than 400 global suppliers. Attendees will be able to explore innovations from established industry players including Albemarle, Brenntag, CABB Group, Johnson Matthey, Saltigo, Sinopec and Yashashvi Rasayan, alongside emerging solution providers.
Alongside the exhibition, Chemspec Europe 2026 will offer a two-stream conference programme covering regulatory and supply chain challenges, geopolitics, sustainability and technical innovation across a range of speciality chemical applications. The combination of technical content and face-to-face engagement is designed to support sourcing, benchmarking and collaboration in a rapidly evolving market.
“As the fine and speciality chemicals sector continues to navigate significant change, the need for focused, in-person engagement has never been greater,” said Christiane Beck, Event Director for Chemspec Europe, on behalf of organiser RX.
