‘Qualicoat Increase Membership’

Qualicoat UK & Ireland continue to increase its membership as more powder coaters realise the benefits of adopting the quality label. Architectural Aluminium Coatings of Wolverhampton are one of the latest new members who were formally welcomed at the last members meeting in Dublin.

Membership can only be approved after careful independent inspection of plant, equipment and quality procedures. This often takes several visits over a period of time to ensure compliance with the latest Qualicoat standards. Only when these standards are achieved can the company be invited into membership.

This strict control over standards and quality makes Qualicoat the specifiers choice for all architectural coatings. Many of the UK systems companies currently supply approved powder coatings and this continues to increase as more UK coaters join the association. In Europe virtually all coating is completed to the Qualicoat standard.

Qualicoat is the worlds largest quality management label for architectural powder coating. Being specified on projects around the globe, the quality label is now 25 years old and celebrated its Jubilee year with a world congress in Munich this October.

Copies of the Qualicoat standard are available through the UK associations website together with an up to date list of manufacturers and applicators at www.qualicoatuki.org. Printed literature and telephone support is available from Qualicoat UK & Ireland’s Head Office in Birmingham on 0121 601 6746.
