“Innovative, Sustainable, Efficiency” was the theme of China Coatings Summit 2016. The Coatings Summit focused on waterborne and other environmentally-friendly coatings. More than 50 keynote speeches covering industry regulations, trends, advanced technology and market trends were presented across five industry tracks to more than 500 attendees. In addition more than 60 companies displayed their latest products and technologies for the coatings industry, as well as conducting product demonstrations in the exhibition area. A committee comprised of industry experts from the manufacturing sector, suppliers, policy makers and R&D institutes helped formulate the topics that truly reflect the latest in technology and challenges that face the industry. The summit had a series of buyer/supplier meetings, round table discussions and social events, giving attendees the opportunity to network and develop new business contacts. “This was our 13th conference in China partnering with Ringier,” said Dale Pritchett, publisher of Coatings World and Ink World. “The number of delegates and exhibitors continues to grow. Coatings World is very pleased to be associated with this premier technical event in Shanghai” “For the first time the conference had equal focus on both coatings and inks,” Pritchett added. “Therefore my talk this year focused on “New Technologies and Trends in the Global Markets of Coatings and Inks.
