Press Releases

November 2009

At the start of the year, the world economic crisis seemed to throw a dark shadow on many industries, but the current number of exhibitors points to clear confidence in the future. By the close of early registration for the 2010 American Coatings Show, the number of registered exhibitors and the amount of floor space reserved were significantly higher than at the comparable time for the preceding show. The surprisingly high demand shows that after just one show, the American Coatings Show & Conference has already become the leading event for all aspects of production and formulation of paints and coatings in North America. 2010 attendees can look forward to a top-level array of innovative products and services, excellent contacts and the latest technical knowledge.

Andy Doyle, President of the National Paint & Coatings Association / Federation of Societies for Coatings Technology (NPCA / FSCT), looks to the future with confidence: “I am increasingly optimistic about the performance of the coatings industry in 2010. After a significant downturn in 2009, our data indicate that overall volume should increase by 2-3 % in 2010. Manufacturing and housing sales have shown recent sustained improvements. In addition, by focusing on cost control in 2009, the industry has positioned itself for increasingly positive returns when volumes begin their climb toward pre-recession levels. This is a very resilient industry and, as such, I believe 2010 will prove to be a successful year.”

The American Coatings Show & Conference is organized by the National Paint & Coatings Association / Federation of Societies for Coatings Technology (NPCA / FSCT) Washington DC, and Vincentz Network, Hannover, Germany. It is run by NuernbergMesse North America, Atlanta GA.
