Ecoat

About

ECOAT is the conference for electrocoating professionals, presented by Products Finishing (Gardner Business Media) and co-presented by The Electrocoat Association. It is run as a biennial conference in even-numbered years, alongside the association's travelling Electrocoating Seminar and Boot Camp training.
