International Hard Anodizing Association Technical Symposium is Sept. 21-23 in Denmark

The International Hard Anodizing Association is holding its 18^th Technical Symposium Sept. 21-23 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The theme of the symposium is “Engineered Coatings in Advance Applications.” The event will take place at the Phoenix Copenhagen hotel and conference center in Denmark.

The IHAA is an association of companies whose mission and passion is to provide the most technically optimal solutions for anodizing aluminum components. Information is exchanged at regular meetings and during the IHAA international conferences, where scientific papers on various topics are presented and participants are given ample opportunity to exchange technical knowledge.
