Going on its fourth year, the CCAI FINISHING Pavilion and Conference at FABTECH has proven to be the premier event for industrial finishers! With more than 160 exhibiting companies showcasing finishing products and services in the CCAI FINISHING Pavilion, FABTECH is now the destination for finishers to see all products and services that they need to improve their finishing operations. According to the Chemical Coaters Association International, which sponsors the Pavillion, there are more suppliers in CCAI's FINISHING Pavilion than any other show in 2013.
“We are so pleased with the growth of CCAI’s FINISHING Pavilion at FABTECH," said Anne Goyer, CCAI executive director. "We know that manufacturers have limited time today to visit trade shows. Being able to attend one show where they can take in all finishing-related technologies and other manufacturing processes in their plant has been a big draw for end users. The continued expansion of our FINISHING Pavilion & Conference means that attendees can see more finishing technologies and learn about the latest industry trends than anywhere else!”
Attendees will have the opportunity to see more live demonstrations and learn about a wide variety of finishing-related new products during their visit to FABTECH in Chicago from Nov. 18-21. Beyond CCAI’s expanded FINISHING Pavilion, it also boasts a world-class technical conference, including more than 40 hours of FINISHING educational sessions. This year CCAI’s popular “Emerging Technologies” session returns with a twist: each attendee who registers for any FINISHING conference session will be eligible to attend the “Emerging Technologies” session FREE OF CHARGE! That’s at least a $175 savings!
In addition to the Emerging Technologies session, CCAI’s FINSIHING Conference offers important information for both finishing newcomers and industry veterans. Basic sessions cover electrocoating, system design, powder coating, cleaning & pretreatment and running efficient paints systems offer information for those new to finishing. Our Finishing Essentials sessions cover how to achieve excellent finishes, getting hooked on paint racks, manual powder coating and finishing operations impact on our environment. Finally, innovative sessions discuss mechanical finishing, porcelain enamel, cost savings for powder coating, application equipment, getting ready for an OSHA or EPA visit and more.
