METS 2024

For the first time, Palini Vernici, known for its wide range of painting solutions and specialists in boat building through its Yachting division, organized a B2B event dedicated to networking at Metstrade (Marine Equipment Trade Show), held in Amsterdam from November 19 to 21. The meeting, held on November 19 under the PALINAL brand, took place within the fair itself, offering an important opportunity for connection and collaboration between trade professionals. The aim was to share information, experiences and knowledge with those present - retailers and representatives from the Princess Yachts boatyard - to create, with active feedback, a genuine community where PALINAL is positioned as the player of reference in the maritime sector.
After looking at content dedicated to retailers and dealers, with the presentation of the new products launched in 2024 - including  HIGH GLOSS DIRECT GLOSS ENAMEL for large surfaces and 923YM100 CLEAR COAT ACRYLIC with exceptional shine - the presentation focused on PALINAL’s international expansion (European and global).
The event was also an occasion to talk about the co-branding strategy, “IKONIKOLOR powered by PALINAL” with PETTIT PAINT (part of the multinational Rpm), in place since 2023, which envisages that for the whole American market (North and South), PETTIT products will be co-branded PALINAL (with related sales services, warehouse and technical assistance). New formulations to further enhance the range have already been announced for next year.
A specific focus was dedicated to our prestigious collaboration with the Princess Yachts luxury yacht manufacturers (Plymouth, United Kingdom), which has led to the creation of a color sample range specifically dedicated to the yachts and boats from this historic English boatyard.
The PALINAL event at Metstrade, given the excellent feedback from the public, will definitely be repeated at the next year, confirming the position of Palini Vernici in the Yachting sector and growing our presence even further on export markets.
