Innovation Forum at Peters Well Received
December 20, 2023 | PetersEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Lively discussions, knowledge sharing, networking and socializing - all of this characterised the Peters Coating Innovation Forum (PCIF). Kempen-based Lackwerke Peters GmbH & Co. KG used this first forum after the Corona period to present the technically upgraded conference room to the participants.
A good 30 representatives from two dozen partner companies from Central Europe took the opportunity to find out about trends and innovations in the conformal coating segment over two days in the Lower Rhine region. The range of topics covered by renowned speakers included innovations in coating processes, conformal coatings of the future, cleaning before coating and non-contact coating thickness measurements. The program also included laboratory tours, plant presentations, exhibitions and a guided tour of Kempen's charming old town.
"Shortly after the successful productronica, we have set a second exclamation mark with our in-house exhibition for 2023," said Peters Managing Director Ralf Schwartz, expressing his satisfaction with the 10th PCIF where all facets of conformal coating in electronics production were highlighted.
Ralf Schwartz is delighted with the great response to the fully booked Peters Forum, in which all aspects of the conformal coating process played a role. There was also plenty of opportunity for personal discussions during the lunch break and at the coffee counter at the Technology Days.
