The 2026 boating season in Sweden started with the annual Allt för Sjön, which invited attendees to meet boating experts, check out the latest marine products and prepare for the upcoming season on Sweden’s lakes and seas.
During two very busy long weekends (from 5-8 and 12-15 March) 400 exhibitors show their news and innovations to over 70.000 visitors. This year, Allt för Sjön was organized by Stockholmsmässan, after which Numera Mässor will take over the staging of the show.
Hempel's stand showcased Hempel's best-in-class product solutions for the boats. Throughout the hectic days at the fair we answered all sorts of questions about our products, this year, the questions were mostly about our biocide-free solutions.
Hempel's Silic One is a premium biocide-free antifouling paint for the DIY market, and was definitely the talk of the Hempel stand as the first revolutionary biocide-free technology based on silicone and hydrogel. With over a decade of proven efficacy, Hempel’s Silic One has been recognized as "best in test" by numerous independent boating magazines and satisfied boat owners.
Hempel also proudly presented a revolutionary product solution – Hempel's Infinity, the unique water-based recharger for Hempel's Silic One. Infinity offers extension of the silicone performance for an extra season and enables less work, less costs and less paint used, while offering more savings and more time on the water.
“Hempel experienced high visitor interest in biocide-free solutions at a recent exhibition, with a clear market shift towards adopting Silic One System technology. Despite lower overall event attendance, strong engagement and positive customer feedback on the stand underscored the value of Hempel’s participation”.Yacht Sales Manager, Kristoffer Myhrman
All in all, another successful Allt för Sjön is in the books!
While overall visitor numbers were slightly lower this year, the energy at the Hempel stand was incredible. Thank you for your trust and for sharing your positive experiences with us. It's time to get those boats ready for a fantastic season on the water!
