Fira de Barcelona has decided to postpone Expoquimia, Eurosurfas and Equiplast, the three events of the chemical, surface treatment and plastics sectors, initially scheduled for June 2-5, until December. These three shows will therefore take place from December 1-5 in the Gran Via venue.

The decision has been made in view of the current situation caused by Covid-19 with the aim of holding the exhibition in a more positive environment. The president of Expoquimia, Carles Navarro, emphasised the support of most of the main industry agents, as well as the importance of preserving the event, which will have even more participants "in this year's international fair calendar."

On the other hand, the president of Eurosurfas, Giampiero Cortinovis, has pointed out that "moving the show to December is the best option when considering the current scenario", while the president of Equiplast, Bernd Roegele, has stated that "the logistic needs of Equiplast, which require some time for the transport and build-up of the equipment on display, make it advisable to hold it in December."
