Like most people, I begin each new year with a sense of excitement and trepidation. I wonder what major news stories will make the headlines, both in the coatings industry and in the world at large.

In October I had the opportunity to travel with the Chicago Society for Coatings Technology (CSCT) to Purdue University's Calumet campus in Hammond, IN, to learn about its new Center for Innovation through Visualization and Simulation (CIVS).

Who are the top 10 manufacturers in the pigments and dispersions industry?

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