We’re excited to announce that ESS will be at SURCAR ASIA 2026, taking place on September 16–17 in Shanghai!

For more than 60 years, SURCAR has been one of the most important meeting points for the global automotive body finishing community. Founded in Cannes in 1964 and expanded to Asia in 2014, the event brings together OEMs, paint shop specialists, suppliers, researchers, and technology leaders to exchange practical experience and shape the future of automotive surface finishing.

This makes SURCAR ASIA the perfect place for ESS to introduce PaintIQ—our new hardware-and-software solution for efficient paint thickness measurement, quality control, and improved correlation between physical measurements and simulation results.

Over two days, the event will offer technical insights, real-world case studies, benchmarking opportunities, and direct exchange with the people driving innovation in automotive paint manufacturing. We are looking forward to discussing how smarter measurement and better data can support more consistent, transparent, and efficient paint shop processes.

Meet ESS and discover PaintIQ at SURCAR ASIA 2026. See you in Shanghai!
