l 16 e 17 novembre 2010 la BYK-Gardner ha tenuto il suo tradizionale, biennale User Meeting a Bad Tölz, in Baviera, Germania vicino alla sede BYK-Gardner. I clienti europei dell’industria automobilistica e i loro fornitori hanno condiviso le loro esperienze su come raggiungere l’obiettivo di una qualità superficiale uniforme. Il primo meeting ebbe luogo nel 1994 con circa 30 partecipanti; quest’ultimo è stata la 9° edizione dello User Meeting con circa 150 partecipanti. Relatori dall’industria automobilistica - AUDI, BMW, Ford e PSA – hanno mostrato come l’analisi del colore e dell’aspetto viene usata per il controllo del processo e per la gestione dell’armonia. I produttori di vernici (Akzo Nobel, BASF, Dupont e Wörwag), come pure i fornitori di materie prime (BYK-Chemie ed Eckart), hanno dato alcune idee su come ottimizzare il colore e l’aspetto delle finiture ad effetto nell’R&S e nel controllo colore di produzione, sulla base delle loro ultime scoperte.
