BCF Joins Organization to Help Ensure Competitive Future for UK Coatings Industry
LONDON - The British Coatings Federation (BCF) has become an affiliate partner of EEF, the manufacturers’ organization, in a bid to secure a competitive future for the industry and to ensure that the voice of the coatings sector is heard by senior policy makers and key decision makers in government.
The move comes at a pivotal time for the coatings sector, as the British Prime Minister has confirmed that Article 50 will be triggered on March 29. According to a recent survey, 75% of coatings companies said they see Brexit as a risk rather than an opportunity, due to concerns around the impact of leaving the single market and regulatory equivalence, particularly in regards to the REACH regulation.
