Tuesday’s Keynote Address, “Innovation in Relationships Between Coatings Companies, Suppliers and Co-Suppliers,” will be delivered by Dr. Richard Jenkins, Global Group President, Arkema Coating Resins.

The consequences of such forces on planning and operating a reliable supply chain can no longer be affordably mitigated through an inventory-only approach.
