A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER
It is such an exciting time to be a part of the powder coating industry. Advancements in powder formulations, pretreatment chemistries, masking and racking techniques, system design, application equipment and heating technology have substantially refined the powder coating process. Manufacturers and job shops are powder coating products more efficiently and achieving colors and special effects some thought impossible just a few short years ago. Manufacturers now proudly advertise their products as “powder coated” because consumers understand the durability, functionality and minimal environmental impact powder coated products offer.
Through the guidance of reader surveys, discussions with readers at industry tradeshows, and the involvement of PCI’s Powder Coated Tough subcommittee, we work tirelessly to produce content that resonates with readers, serves as an educational tool, and keeps readers coming back issue after issue. This is how we provide utmost value to our advertisers and achieve our mission of being the voice of powder coating technology in North America.
We invite you to support PCI’s official publication as we celebrate our transformative, tight-knit industry. One that continues to guide the conversation in the finishing industry. One that defines what quality, beauty, and durability really means. One that creates a Stronger, Greener, Better world.
