A new platform for decision-makers in surface technology
Connecting the World of Industrial Coating: What this new platform is about and why you should not miss it!
The coating industry is becoming more international, more complex and faster-moving. New technologies, tightening regulations and growing cost pressure from global competitors demand more than just technical expertise — they demand access to the right people and the right knowledge. This is the gap that Industrial Coating Hub is designed to close.
The platform targets technical managers and heads of surface technology at industrial companies across country boarders— engineers and process specialists responsible for selecting, implementing and monitoring modern coating systems. Their challenges are real: automation, sustainability, VOC reduction, regulatory compliance and an overwhelming volume of information that makes it hard to identify what is actually relevant.
Built around practice, not theory
Industrial Coating Hub is not a trade association or a purely editorial outlet. It positions itself as a connector built on peer-level exchange — bringing the right contacts together without acting as an authority. The brand’s values make this explicit: “We are a conversation partner, not a know-it-all.”
The offering spans specialist articles, international events with a clear application focus, newsletters, white papers, webinars and podcasts. All content is published exclusively in English — a deliberate decision to remove language barriers across markets. The brand’s core statement is direct: “We connect decision-makers who shape the coating technology of tomorrow.”
At the moment the IC Hub is comprised of the following networks and products:
- ACE Coating Conference
- Ecolromat (Rail vehilce coating conference)
- IntAIRCOAT (Aerospace coating conference)
- Our Newsletter
- Our LinkedIn page
A network for Paint Shop Leaders
The platform is in active development. The longer-term ambition is stated clearly: “We make the international coating industry more transparent, more connected and more future-ready.”
