About PU Expo 2026
PU Expo 2026 is an international trade exhibition dedicated to the polyurethane industry, bringing together raw material producers, system houses, technology providers, machinery manufacturers, processors, and professional buyers in Istanbul.
The exhibition will take place from 11 to 13 November 2026 at the Istanbul Expo Center and will provide a specialized business platform for companies involved in polyurethane production, processing, application, and related technologies.
Polyurethane is widely used across numerous industries because of its versatility, durability, insulation properties, flexibility, and ability to be adapted for different manufacturing requirements. PU Expo reflects this broad industrial ecosystem by connecting polyurethane suppliers with professionals from automotive, furniture, construction, insulation, appliances, coatings, footwear, and other application sectors.
The exhibition will showcase different stages of the polyurethane value chain, ranging from polyols, isocyanates, additives, and system solutions to elastomers, flexible and rigid foams, coatings, adhesives, sealants, machinery, automation, and recycling technologies.
PU Expo 2026 is also designed as an international networking and knowledge-sharing platform. Alongside the exhibition floor, visitors can take part in conferences, industry panels, technical presentations, and expert sessions addressing current developments and emerging technologies in the polyurethane sector.
