ipcm® International Paint&Coating Magazine

This summer issue of ipcm® lifts the veil on the future of the car industry and its paintshops. Thanks to our media partnership with the Surcar exhibition, also this year we were able to attend numerous high-technical level presentations on innovations in this industry, and interview six VIP speakers from as many manufacturing companies, who told us their opinion on the subject of coatings, materials, and the impact of the future of mobility on them. Finally, we have decided to add a feature story about the coating of materials such as plastics, glass, and MDF, with which we deal only occasionally, but which entail very high technology, quality, and innovation degrees. It contains a series of reports about companies that have specialised in plastic and glass coating processes, conquering very promising niche markets thanks to their excellent skills.
