E coat manufacturers
1998
I am trying to compile a listing of electrocoating manufacturers for the USA and all those outside the USA.
Most of the USA manufacturers are listed or participate in the Florida meetings held every 2 years so that list is fairly well known but the off shore manufacturers are not as well known.
Any suggestions or list would be appreciated.
Thanks.
