CHEMUK 2026

By Setform

CHEMUK returns as the UK’s largest, most thorough event dedicated to the full chemical supply chain. With the sector undergoing rapid transformation driven by innovation, regulation, and the pressure to deliver more resilient, sustainable operations it is key for manufacturers, suppliers, formulators and logistics leaders, to make use of the rare opportunity to access every part of the industry ecosystem under one roof.

Across its expanding show zones, CHEMUK brings together hundreds of specialist exhibitors representing raw materials, ingredients, intermediates, specialty chemicals, process technologies, engineering solutions, packaging, handling, distribution, waste management and regulatory compliance. This breadth is what sets the event apart: it is not just a marketplace for products, but a complete cross-section of the UK’s chemical value chain. Whether you are sourcing critical inputs, improving production efficiency, reviewing safety solutions or exploring the latest in green chemistry, the show provides direct access to the partners and technologies shaping the sector’s future.

For operations, supply chain and compliance professionals, CHEMUK offers clear and immediate value. The dedicated Chemicals Management and Process & Engineering zones provide practical insights into improving safety, reducing operational risk and meeting tightening regulatory requirements. Exhibitors demonstrate advancements in hazard mitigation, labelling, transport, storage, automation, data management, emissions monitoring and waste-to-resource processes. All areas are essential for improving resilience across chemical logistics and plant operations.

Upstream and downstream players benefit equally. Raw material suppliers connect with formulators and brand owners through the Chemicals Supply Show and the Formulated Product Manufacturer Show, enabling efficient sourcing, faster product development and stronger supplier–customer integration. For businesses navigating supply chain volatility or looking to diversify, the event delivers an unrivalled opportunity to discover new partners and new routes to market.

Adding further depth is a packed programme of expert speakers addressing sustainability, decarbonisation, industrial biotech, green feedstocks, circularity, digitalisation, scale-up challenges and future regulation. These sessions provide strategic intelligence at a time when the industry is redefining how it invests, innovates and competes.

In a sector where efficiency, safety and innovation are inseparable, CHEMUK has become a cornerstone event, and a catalyst for collaboration and a vital annual touchpoint for anyone connected to chemical production, processing, handling or distribution. For leaders across the full supply chain, attendance is no longer optional; it’s where the industry unites to solve today’s challenges and shape tomorrow’s opportunities.
