NACE International and The Powder Coating Institute (PCI) Collaborate to Form New Industrial Coatings Show

Houston, TX - The Powder Coating Institute (PCI) and NACE International, The Corrosion Society (NACE), will be partnering to produce The North American Industrial Coating Show at the Indianapolis Convention Center, October 27-29, 2010.  

The event will replace PCI's The Coating Show and NACE's CoatingsPro show. "This will be the premier coatings show in North America and we are excited about partnering with NACE and other associations as we continue to expand this show to encompass all facets of the industrial coatings industry" says Steve Houston, executive director of The Powder Coating Institute. 

"Partnering with PCI is a great step toward developing a world renown coating show.  Bringing together CoatingsPro and The Coating Show will provide the industry with a unique opportunity to find solutions to their coatings challenges and to provide greater protection to their vital assets" said Tony Keane, executive director of NACE International.   

The North American Industrial Coating Show will provide the industry with a new, compelling event to meet, learn and network.  Attendees will include contractors, end users of paint and powder coatings, supervisory personnel, specifiers, formulators, and paint and equipment manufacturers. Educational courses will be offered in conjunction with the event and many will provide internationally recognized certifications.
