The Official Buyers Guide for the Powder Coating Industry Now in Print!
Posted on Monday, February 2, 2015
On behalf of the Powder Coating
Institute (PCI®), we are
pleased to present the first printed
version of the Powder Coated Tough
Buyers Guide. In addition to the
print version, we will continue to
publish the Buyers Guide in an interactive,
searchable digital format
that can be downloaded as a pdf to
your personal computer.
This print edition is important
because it will reside on the desks
of more than 16,500 powder coating
professionals, including more
than 14,000 OEMs and fabricators.
Many times a powder coater needs
to quickly find a supplier and they
do not have access to their computer
or they cannot get a signal
from their smart phone. This
solves the problem—it is fast and
portable!
The 2015 Buyers Guide includes
members of the Powder Coating
Institute. These companies represent
the “best of the best” in terms
of supplying materials, products
and services to the industry. These
are the companies that actively
support the technologies that you
use every day and also promote
the benefits of powder coating
technology.
This buyers guide includes only
members of the Powder Coating
Institute, for they are the companies
who believe it is important
to volunteer their staff’s time and
energy to represent the industry to
outside organizations—especially
to governmental and standard-setting
entities. They are the people
who speak at industry-wide events
such as the Powder Coating Show
and regional training workshops.
They actively and vocally represent
powder coating technology as a
STRONGER-GREENER-BETTER
finish for many applications.
If you google any one of the
products listed in the 2015 Buyers
Guide, you will likely come
up with a longer list of suppliers
than found in this buyers guide.
But how do you know they are
a capable company from which
to buy products? Not because
they are listed at the top of a
google search—that just requires
high-powered SEO. You can be
sure of the commitment a supplier
has to the powder coating industry
IF they are a member of PCI®—
this makes the Powder Coated
Tough Buyers Guide such a valuable
resource!
We hope that you find this
printed volume of the 2015 Powder
Coated Tough Buyers Guide of
great value when you need to find
a supplier. And, if you work with
a supplier not found in this Buyers
Guide, you should encourage
them to join PCI® because they are
losing valuable sales opportunities
by their absence in this reference
edition. It is a minimal investment
for a great return.
We wish you a happy, healthy
and prosperous 2015. And we hope
to see you at the 2015 Powder
Coating Show in Louisville, Ky.,
on May 6-7. It is the only show in
the world devoted exclusively to
powder coating and is devoted to
helping to make your powder coating
operation the best it can be!
