Publisher's Letter Leaders Lead: Bringing New Technology to Market
Posted on Tuesday, May 1, 2012
As I have shared before, I
learned early in my career
and still strongly believe
that leaders lead, especially in a
tough and now recovering economy.
In this recovering economy, leaders
need to look for ways to improve
and invest in their business.
Powder Coated Tough magazine
takes pride as a leader in cutting
edge graphics, design, digital magazines,
editorial, and now a cutting edge event called
The Powder Coating Summit. I would like to share with
you that this magazine is teaming with The Powder
Coating Institute and The Powder Coating Research
Group headed by Kevin Biller, a contributing editor of
Powder Coated Tough, to produce the premier powder
coating technology event in 2012.
Wow, it’s a good feeling when you know you are doing
something right! Kevin Biller and I have been swamped
with email responses and excitement about the Powder
Coating Summit this June. Here is some information on
the expo/reception and industry leading companies that
will be there to discuss your needs and share their products
and services in a relaxing fun-filled evening of networking.
Space is limited for this unique event so make sure you

As a fellow member of the coatings industry, it is sometimes
difficult to decide which educational events provide
the most value in our busy professional lives. We would
