Attention! The order from the paint factory has arrived!

Amidst the profound adjustments in the global economic landscape and the accelerated industrial transformation, the color-coated steel industry is thriving with remarkable momentum, ushering in an unprecedented golden opportunity period. Baosteel Huangshi Company has seen an explosive growth in orders for color-coated and galvanized products, surging 300% year-on-year. Anshan Shenlong Tengda Industrial and Trade Co., Ltd. has nine production lines, including galvanizing, color-coating, rolling mill, and pickling, operating at full capacity, with an annual output value exceeding 10 billion yuan. Angang Steel has successfully overcome technical challenges, developed environmentally friendly water-based paint color-coated steel plates, and achieved zero-defect delivery. Meanwhile, numerous enterprises are advancing together in technological innovation, capacity expansion, and market expansion, with a large number of construction projects being launched. This means that the color-coated steel industry is moving forward bravely in the tide of the times with great momentum.

At a time when the color-coated steel sheet industry is booming, the inaugural closed-loop conference on coatings for color-coated steel sheets addresses an important issue that the industry urgently needs to address: how to achieve greater environmental friendliness, energy conservation, and carbon reduction in application scenarios dominated by solvent-based coatings. How to guide the rapid transition of water-based paints from their initial stage to widespread application, overcoming the challenge of high cost? How to propel powder coating onto a path of high-speed and high-quality development, addressing technical bottlenecks such as thin powder coating, rapid curing, and maintaining the delayed bending performance of the coating, so that green coatings can truly enter millions of households?

Meanwhile, the rapid development of the industry has also raised higher requirements for the industrial chain, and a series of pain points have gradually surfaced. The high volatility of raw material prices, the relatively chaotic paint market, uneven product quality, insufficient process technology adaptability, lagging essential performance certification, and multiple complex factors have greatly increased the cost pressure on enterprises, compressed profit margins, and hindered the healthy development of the industry. These factors fail to meet the increasingly diverse needs of the market and severely restrict market expansion. This requires breaking down barriers between upstream and downstream links to address the pain points caused by cognitive biases that make it difficult to achieve unified coordination. The industrial cluster also urgently needs communication and collaboration to jointly devise solutions to break the deadlock.

Against this backdrop, the leading new media service platform in the coatings industry, Coating Procurement Network, will shoulder the heavy responsibility and hold the 2025 Full Industry Chain Conference for the Color Coated Sheet Industry on April 28, 2025, with the theme of "Going Green and Seeking New Quality Development". This is the first national full industry chain conference for the color coated sheet industry, with participating enterprises including coil steel manufacturers, coil aluminum manufacturers, local governments, environmental protection departments, chambers of commerce, color coated sheet distributors, engineering companies, coating enterprises, water-based industrial paint manufacturers, powder coating manufacturers, coating manufacturers, and upstream raw material manufacturers for coatings. The conference aims to focus on and solve core issues in the color coated industry such as raw material selection, strict process control, and spraying updates, while actively guiding the widespread application of water paints, powders, and high-solids coatings in the industry chain, opening up new paths for sustainable development in the industry.

Seamless face-to-face communication between end customers and paint manufacturers

This conference is hosted by the Coating Procurement Network, titled by Guangdong Ruizhi Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., and co-organized by Foshan Dechuner Technology Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Sensair Co., Ltd., bringing together the strength of many well-known enterprises in the industry. The conference also invited leaders from national environmental protection departments, leaders of industry chambers of commerce, and other relevant leaders such as the Steel Structure Branch of the China Construction Metal Association, the Boxing County Metal Plate Industry Association Chamber of Commerce, and the Boxing County Government Economic Development Zone Management Committee, who will all attend to provide authoritative policy interpretations for the development of the industry, helping the color-coated steel sheet industry keep up with policy trends and move forward steadily.

This conference will closely align with national policies, vigorously promote high-quality development, and develop new productive forces tailored to local conditions, pointing the way forward for the future development of the color-coated steel industry. Approximately 400 representatives from upstream and downstream industries will gather together. Leading steel plate enterprises such as Shandong Guanzhou Co., Ltd. and Tianjin Xinyu Color Plate will lead the industry development with their strong R&D and production capabilities. Gu Jinrong, former chief engineer of Baosteel Co., Ltd., will attend the conference alongside enterprises such as He Steel and Baowu Steel, injecting industrial strength into the conference and promoting the upgrading of basic manufacturing.

Well-known coating enterprises such as Egma Xinli, AkzoNobel Powder, Qingtian Materials, and Jinsange will also participate in the conference, aiming to enhance the performance of color-coated sheets in all aspects, from decorativeness to corrosion resistance, dressing them up with a gorgeous and durable "coat", and contributing to the green development of the industry and product upgrades.

Upstream raw material enterprises such as Zhanxin Resin, Zhejiang Guanghua, Anhui Yongchang, and Longbai Group, leverage their key raw material products to lay the foundation for enhancing the performance and decorative effects of color steel plates, ensuring stable supply. Coating enterprises like Foshan Dechuner Technology and Tianjin Mingjie Intelligent Equipment utilize high-efficiency energy-saving equipment to improve coating quality and efficiency, driving the industry's intelligent upgrade.

Downstream enterprises have also joined forces, highlighting the significance of the conference in connecting the entire industry chain. This ensures that every step from the production to the application of color-coated steel sheets is closely interconnected. They will make a significant appearance, announcing their application needs and quality pursuits for color-coated steel sheets, thereby anchoring the terminal direction for the development of the color-coated steel sheet industry. With the convergence of numerous industry elites, they will contribute to the future development of the color-coated steel sheet industry. This conference will surely become an important opportunity to promote the development of the entire industry chain.
