From J
uly 2nd to 4th, 2025,
CLIRIK participated in the
West Africa Coatings Show 2025, held at the Landmark Centre in Lagos, Nigeria.
As one of the leading manufacturers of ultrafine grinding mills and powder processing solutions, CLIRIK drew significant attention from industry professionals, manufacturers, and buyers across the African coatings and filler industries.
A Strategic Move into the West African Market
This year marks CLIRIK’s first official exhibition presence in Nigeria, signaling its commitment to expanding in the African market. Nigeria, being the economic powerhouse of West Africa, offers vast opportunities in construction, coatings, and industrial manufacturing. By participating in this major regional exhibition, CLIRIK aims to bring its advanced grinding technologies directly to the doorsteps of local partners and clients.
Strong Booth Presence & High Engagement
Located at Booth
No. 3A118, CLIRIK’s exhibition space showcased its flagship equipment including the
HGM Ultrafine Grinding Mill, the
CLUM Vertical Roller Mill, the
CLRM Raymond Mill, and tailored
powder coating production solutions. These systems are widely used for producing micron- and submicron-grade powders essential in paint, coatings, plastic fillers, and other chemical applications.
Throughout the three-day event, the booth welcomed hundreds of visitors, including coating manufacturers, chemical processors, distributors, and industrial investors. Live consultations were provided by CLIRIK’s technical team, who answered questions on equipment configuration, production line design, and raw material processing such as
calcium carbonate,
talc,
kaolin, and
barite.




CLIRIK’s sales manager for the African region, Liya Lee, commented,
"We were very impressed by the enthusiasm of local manufacturers. Many companies here are looking to upgrade their powder processing capabilities, and our ultrafine mills are a perfect fit for their needs. The feedback was excellent."
Highlighted Products & Solutions
During the show, CLIRIK focused on four core grinding and powder processing solutions, each tailored to the growing needs of the African coatings and industrial minerals market:
>>HGM Series Ultrafine Grinding Mill
A proven choice for producing 325–3000 mesh fine powders with stable performance, high capacity, and low energy consumption. Widely used for calcium carbonate, talc, kaolin, and other non-metallic minerals.
>>CLUM Ultrafine Vertical Roller Mill
Designed for large-scale, high-end powder production, CLUM mills are ideal for applications requiring excellent particle shape, narrow size distribution, and surface modification—such as architectural paints, fillers, and masterbatches.
>>CLRM Series Raymond Mill
A reliable and cost-effective solution for producing 80–400 mesh powders. CLRM is suitable for small to medium-scale production, especially for early-stage coating factories and mineral processors seeking consistent output with low operating costs. Its compact layout, easy operation, and strong adaptability make it ideal for African markets.
>>Coating Production Line Integration
CLIRIK also provides turnkey systems that combine grinding, powder classification, and powder surface modification. This enables customers to build complete coating-grade powder lines with high automation and production efficiency.
These solutions are ideal for businesses looking to produce high-quality powders used in architectural paints, automotive coatings, and decorative applications.
New Partnerships and Project Discussions
CLIRIK’s team engaged in numerous one-on-one discussions with potential partners. Many local companies expressed interest in setting up their own in-house grinding lines to reduce raw material costs and improve product control. Several technical cooperation intentions were reached during the show, including:
- A Lagos-based coatings producer planning to upgrade to a 5-micron calcium carbonate powder grinding line.
- A Ghanaian plastics manufacturer seeking a filler masterbatch production solution using barite and talc.
- Distributors from Côte d’Ivoire and Cameroon who showed strong interest in representing CLIRIK equipment in their local markets.
A Successful Conclusion and Future Outlook
As the show wrapped up on July 4th, the CLIRIK team expressed deep appreciation for the warm welcome and high level of engagement from attendees. The company believes that West Africa represents a rapidly growing demand for high-performance powder processing equipment — and CLIRIK is ready to meet that demand with customized, high-efficiency solutions.
Moving forward, CLIRIK plans to:
- Strengthen after-sales support and service in the region by working with local agents and partners.
- Conduct on-site installation training and technical guidance for customers in Nigeria and neighboring countries.
- Continue participating in key industry exhibitions across Africa and the Middle East to build a stronger global presence.
