I had the opportunity to attend the Detroit Society for Coatings Technology’s FOCUS conference on May 2, in Troy, MI.

Companies that turn abstract ideas into real, commercially viable products must have employees that possess both scientific understanding and imagination. I had the privilege of seeing first hand a company that is imagining the future when I attended WACKER’s International Press Workshop this March.

Over the last several years, it has become more and more clear to me that sustainability is not just a buzz word.

This is one of my favorite issues of PCI – our Emerging Technologies issue.

I have just returned home from our annual Coatings Trends & Technologies (CTT) conference, which was held September 11-12 in Oak Brook, IL.

One advantage of living in the Detroit metro area is the proximity to so many automotive coatings suppliers.

This month’s Industry News department features a new report by market research firm RNCOS on the global nanotechnology market.

It has been a bumpy four years since I began following the top global and North American coatings companies.

It is hard to believe that it has been two years since the last American Coatings Show (ACS).

As part of a recent three-day East Coast trip with PCI’spublisher, I had the chance to visit the Dow Coatings Materials (DCM) facility in Spring House, PA.
