The organization of Cubrecol Americas 2011 confirmed the realization of guided tours to paint production plants and application centers, so that attendees can analyze in the field the information received at the conferences.
The visits will take place on Wednesday, September 28, one day before the start of the fair, and will be led by certified technicians in the different companies of the paints and coatings sector.
With the commitment to continue delivering quality content and providing added values to the paints and coatings industry, Cubrecol Americas 2011 has confirmed the integration of a committee of experts who will delimit the themes of the congress according to the needs of the industry.
The group is composed of:
Roberto Romagnoli: Dr. Chemical and Analytical Sciences. Vice Director of the Center for Research and Development in Paint Technology, CIDEPINT, Argentina.
Julián Restrepo: MSc. PhD. Sustainable Chemistry and Technological Leader of Paints at Invesa, Sapolín.
Félix Echeverría, PhD in Corrosion and Director of the Corrosion Research Group of the University of Antioquia.
Quilyam Casallas: MS. Economic Sciences and Corrosion Specialist. President of the Colombian Association of Corrosion and Head of Metal Line in Sika Colombia.
Juan Carlos Velásquez: Maintenance line and marina manager of Compañía Global de Pinturas.
For seven consecutive years, CUBRECOL AMERICAS has positioned itself as one of the most important scenarios for the training of paint and coating applicators, serving more than 150 professionals from all over Latin America each year.

The appointment then is in Medellin, Colombia, on September 29 and 30, 2011.
The new year comes with greater challenges for the paints and coatings sector that must respond to the demands of the new infrastructure and industrial development projects that have emerged in Latin America, as a result of growing foreign investment, the increase in our exports and the realization of massive events of global importance in our territory.
That means that for the next few years we will require not only trained applicators and controllers, but also new products with newer technologies and more versatile raw materials.
Considering all these variables, in CUBRECOL AMERICAS we have given ourselves the task of including several of the topics that we consider current and expand our coverage, to include new spaces for discussion and analysis of issues related to the formulation and management of raw materials.
Using coatings that deliver the necessary strength and durability, as well as meeting the standards set for a successful application are the keys to...
