Some of the best coatings in the world are done right here in the Great Lakes and we felt what better way to celebrate in our backyard, share innovations, and give back to the Coatings industry through the non-for-profit Coatings Associations that are putting this on.  100% of the profits will be given back to the Coatings industry through our Associations and Societies.
