After two issues in which we dealt extensively with the impact of Covid19 on the economy and with the ways in which the surface treatment sector has put its technologies at the service of the fight against this virus, this summer issue of ipcm® is simply aimed at offering you plenty of prompts to stimulate “good ideas”. Technological, process, management, and product ideas. Success stories, unprecedented systems, new lines started up through digital technologies, unconventional surface treatments (once again, also useful for sanitising surfaces), and research on better performing raw materials. In a word, a positive framework, clearly showing the European industry’s industriousness and dynamism.
