WASHINGTON – To create a unified voice for the corrosion control and protective coatings industries, a new association was launched on Jan. 6 at a global virtual event. The new organization, the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP), was formed by a merger between Houston-based NACE International, The Corrosion Society, and Pittsburgh-based SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings. AMPP’s name, logo and other brand elements were revealed at the event, which was led by AMPP CEO Bob Chalker and the organization’s executive leadership.
“AMPP brings together the world’s leading corrosion prevention and protective coatings organizations under one umbrella,” said Chalker. “With a vision to create a safer, protected and sustainable world, the new association will focus on the future of materials protection and performance.”
