About Us
Coating Seminars
We give customized, in-plant seminars covering all aspects of coating technology. The levels can range from a workshop format, oriented for operators, technicians, and mechanics, to more theoretical levels for engineers and scientists. Sessions run from one to three days. We also give group seminars. One format is a 3 1/2 day general session in the Boston, MA area.
 
Our next seminar session in the Boston, MA area will begin Oct. 25, 2010. For details see information below.
