Benefitting from Corporate Membership of ICorr
Our corporate membership continues to grow, with more companies taking advantage of the benefits of becoming a corporate member. We try to introduce as many of our new corporate members through our blog as is possible.
Who is the latest to have joined our expanding presence in the global corrosion conversation?
We’re pleased to welcome AkzoNobel International Paint and Carboline Europe as our latest corporate members.
AkzoNobel International Paint
A leading supplier of protective coatings, with products that range from finish to surface tolerant, and include intermediate, primer, and primer-finish. Its speciality coatings include lining, passive fire protection, subsea, abrasion resistant, and Splashzone, as well as repair and protection for structural concrete, and temperature resistant coatings.
The industries it serves include construction, mining, offshore and onshore oil and gas, thermal power, transportation and pipeline, water and waste, and wind power.
AkzoNobel International Paint has invested in a new team to work on specifications for major global projects. To aid this, the company has selected to engage with the Institute of Corrosion as corporate members, with the specific aim of networking with other engineers in this field.
Its membership is already beginning to pay dividends, with engagement in the development of the Sustainability Conference in Newcastle (the home of International Paint) which is planned for June 2023.
Carboline Europe
Offering more than 35 product lines, Carboline is also a major protective coating and fire protection suppliers in the market, focusing on coatings, linings, and fireproofing. Its focus is to solve customers’ problems – a mission it has maintained since the company was founded in 1947.
Like International Paint, Carboline supplies many industries including infrastructure, energy, and mining.
With a significant market share in the United States, the company now plans to develop its business more aggressively in Europe. To this end, they have invested in a new management team with the remit to develop appropriate business strategy.
Carboline’s objective for its membership is to engage more fully in technical debate, through formal and informal networking opportunities. They have already engaged with the London Branch of ICorr to stage a ‘summer event’ in London in 2023.
