CCAI To Host New Finishing Technologies
Pavilion at the FABTECH International & AWS Welding Show,
including METALFORM
The Chemical Coaters Association International (CCAI) has
announced that beginning in 2010, it will host a new Finishing
Technologies Pavilion at the FABTECH International & AWS Welding
Show, including METALFORM tradeshow.
FABTECH, North America's largest metal forming, fabricating,
and welding exposition and conference, is co-sponsored by four
leading manufacturing associations: Fabricators & Manufacturers
Association, Int’l (FMA), the American Welding Society (AWS), the
Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) and the Precision
Metalforming Association (PMA). A Finishing Technologies
Pavilion, sponsored by CCAI, will complete the manufacturing loop
for the show, allowing manufacturers to visit one show each year
to see metal manufacturing processes from beginning to end.
“We are very excited with our new partnership with FABTECH and
their co-sponsoring organizations,” states Bruce Bryan, CCAI
President. “FABTECH has a long history of being a world-class
event that provides manufacturers with everything they need to
improve their manufacturing processes. It is a logical fit to
have a finishing pavilion as part of an event that deals with the
process of manufacturing a product. To be able to add finishing to
the mix enables the event to cover it all. It will also allow our
members and exhibitors to reach an audience far beyond what we
could reach in a finishing-only event.”
In addition to being responsible for selling exhibit space in
the Finishing Technologies Pavilion, CCAI will also produce
conference programming focusing on a wide variety of finishing
technologies, including liquid finishing, powder coating,
electrocoating, pretreatment, curing and plating. CCAI’s
Finishing Technologies Pavilion will debut at FABTECH, Nov. 2 – 4,
2010 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
FABTECH 2010 is expected to draw more than 22,000 attendees,
attract more than 1,000 exhibitors and feature thousands of live
equipment demonstrations throughout its pavilions. When recent
attendees were asked on a post-show survey what additional
manufacturing technologies or services, if any, they would be
interested in seeing at an upcoming FABTECH, of the technologies
listed, 37.6 answered Finishing/Painting/Coatings. More than 23%
of recent attendees when registering for FABTECH said they planned
to evaluate finishing products while at the show.
FABTECH, when held in Chicago on the odd years, draws an even
larger crowd, typically more than 30,000 attendees. The show
rotates between Chicago, Atlanta and Las Vegas, with Chicago being
the anchor city every other year.
CCAI is a non-profit technical and professional association
that provides information and education on surface coating
technologies worldwide. Founded in 1972, CCAI has a network of
grass root chapters that provides education and training to
finishers. CCAI’s membership is comprised of end users of
industrial finishes, custom coaters and industry suppliers. Visit
