Chemspec Europe 2025, the RX show for the speciality chemicals sector, comes to Cologne, 4-5 June, with a refined profile for its 38th edition. The exhibition this year will extend over 8,000sqm of expanded space at Koelnmesse Hall 4.2 and Hall 5.2.

Around 350 key suppliers from Europe and beyond are expected to exhibit over the two days. Organisers say they have refined the content structure, introducing clearer exhibitor segmentation, enhanced networking opportunities and fresh conference insights.

The 2025 edition fair will feature an A-list line-p of chemical suppliers and service providers, including Albemarle, Arxada, CABB, Curia, ESIM Chemicals, Evonik, IMCD, Johnson Matthey, Lanxess, Midas Pharma, Miltitz Aromatics, PI Industries, Saltigo, SEQENS, SRF, WeylChem, to name a few.

“Whether you work in chemical production, R&D, procurement, distribution, or consulting – keeping up-to-date with evolving technologies, environmental considerations, and regulatory requirements is vital for navigating ever-changing markets and customer expectations”, says Christiane Beck, event director for Chemspec Europe at organiser RX.

With a one-click filter, visitors will be able to identify relevant products for their specific application, helping them connect with the right suppliers.

The Chemspec Europe Conference Programme will this year provide a more focused and business-relevant experience. Returning this year are: the Agrochemical Stage, covering agricultural policy and chemical solutions for modern, sustainable agriculture; the Pharmaceutical Stage, highlighting advancements in personalised medicine, drug formulation, and pharmaceutical innovations; and the Regulations Stage, focusing on REACH and REACH-like regulations, global chemicals management, and best practices for product stewardship.

In addition, a new Insights Stage will address pressing industry challenges, providing practical solutions and strategic guidance to help businesses navigate evolving market demands.

A new Exhibitor Zone will highlight first-time participants from Europe, the USA and Japan – including promising start-ups and young companies. There is a Matchmaking Programme designed to connect visitors and suppliers with complementary business interests and a Matchmaking Lounge on-site.

A new Colleqt QR App will facilitate the paperless exchange of key information and contact details.
