The Council, which provides a forum for exchange and cooperation on major issues and priorities facing the industry, has established itself as a global voice with the United Nations, Governments, and NGOs for 30 years. The WCC celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2022.
The World Coatings Council is made up of members representing associations from the United States, China, European Union, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Malaysia, Canada, South Africa, Turkey, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
At the recent World Coatings Council’s annual meeting, Tom Bowtell, Chief Executive of the British Coatings Federation, was elected President for a two-year term of office.
Andy Doyle, President of the World Coatings Council and CEO of the American Coatings Association, commented: “I am thrilled that Tom has accepted the role of President of the World Coatings Council. He is a global leader not only in the association community, but in the coatings industry as well. Tom along with the WCC’s new Vice President, Monica Alcala of the Mexican Paint and Printing Ink Manufacturers’ Association (ANAFAPYT) will do a fantastic job leading our organisation. .”
