Dr. Richard Jenkins of Arkema Coating Resins Delivers Keynote at CTT
Dr. Richard D. Jenkins, Global Group President, Arkema
Coating Resins, delivered this morning’s keynote address at the 2011 Coatings
Trends & Technologies conference in Oak Brook, IL. His presentation, titled
Coating Resins and Additives – a New Global Perspective, discussed how the
coatings market is growing globally, but not uniformly. Growth drivers are
different in different areas of the world (environment and performance in
mature markets, and population and construction growth in emerging countries).
Jenkins stated that effective response to market trends requires balancing
global leverage with regional needs. Similarly, some processes are best done at
the global level, while others are best done in regions via local resources.
