Plaster and paint
Cooperating with the Swiss Association of Painting and Plastering Contractors (SMGV) brings new groups of exhibitors and visitors to Swissbau. The specialist areas of plaster, paint, insulation, sealing, dry construction, floors, walls and ceilings will greatly expand the range of products and services at the multi-industry trade fair.
New cooperation
The Swiss Association of Painting and Plastering Contractors (SMGV) is withdrawing its patronage of the appli-tech trade fair in Lucerne and has now become involved in Swissbau. The association will become a partner, hosting a lounge and events at Swissbau Focus. It will support the development of new exhibition areas for manufacturers in the painting and plastering industry. SMGV activities will take place in all hall areas. The appli-tech trade fair will not take place in 2026.
Swiss Association of Painting and Plastering Contractors
The Swiss Association of Painting and Plastering Contractors (SMGV) is the professional and employers’ association of the Swiss painting and plastering trade. It was founded on 31 May 1908 as the Swiss Association of Master Painters and Plasterers and currently represents the interests of around 1,900 painting and plastering companies in German, French and Italian-speaking Switzerland.

Swiss Prize for Plaster and Paint
The “Swiss Prize for Plaster and Paint” promotes cooperation between architecture, interior design, colour schemes and skilled trades as well as the use of plaster and paint in high-quality buildings. It is instrumental in drawing this to the public’s attention. At Swissbau 2026, a range of submitted projects will be exhibited and the prestigious prize will be awarded.
