Coatings World - September 2009

Editor’s Page
Looking for suppliers?
If your answer is yes than this is the magazine for you. In this issue you’ll find our International Buyers’ Guide, our annual listing of com- panies offering pigments, resins, additives, solvents and oils as well
as laboratory and production equipment. This guide can serve as a start-
ing point and an invaluable asset in your search for suppliers to serve
your needs, particularly in today’s business environment where supply
issues are in constant need of attention. Keep this issue close at hand
throughout the next year, as it can provide you with raw material and
equipment providers, contacts, web site addresses and e-mail details. You
can also search online at our web site, www.coatingsworld.com. Finding
the right supplier and developing a relationship with them could be the
key to unlocking future growth, especially once the recession ends. A good
supplier can provide not only essential materials or equipment, but can
be a tremendous source of product, formulation and manufacturing infor-
mation. Good luck in your search and let us know if we can be of any
assistance.
