Learn about improving the efficiency of your industrial finishing operations while maximizing investment returns by attending the Minnesota Paint and Powder Coating Expo '09.
The Twin Cities Chapter of Chemical Coaters Association International (CCAI) and the Minnesota Technical Assistance Program (MnTAP) at the University of Minnesota, are hosting the 7th Minnesota Paint and Powder Coating Expo on Thursday, March 19, 2009, at Century College in White Bear Lake, Minnesota (near St. Paul).
The Expo will include a vendor show, hands-on demonstrations, and technical seminars. At the last expo, over 400 participants attended the 15 technical seminars and a vendor show featuring over 50 exhibits.
Currently, the Expo is seeking people to present on topics related to metal finishing. Suggested topics include but are not limited to new technologies/ processes, cleaning pretreatment, cost savings, energy use reduction, environmental issues, and case studies. Abstracts of 250 words or less must be received by October 3, 2008. Learn more.
Also, make plans to join us a day earlier for the CCAI Annual Symposium, Lean Manufacturing for the Finishing Industry. This day-long symposium will feature:
- Simulations to help you understand lean production systems
- Discussions and learning opportunities focused on lean culture
Everyone involved with industrial finishing from presidents and paint line supervisors to painters and environmental officers will benefit by attending these events and obtaining essential information to improve the finishing process.
