In less than two weeks, Al-Farben will participate at American Coatings for the first time. The American Coatings Show and Conference will be held April 11-14 at the Indianapolis Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Held in partnership with the American Coatings Association (ACA) and Vincentz Network  – the organizer of the European Coatings Show and Conference – the American Coatings Show and Conference (ACS/ACC) is an exhibition and technical conference designed as a sister event to the European event. The conference is a three-day event providing a forum for the foremost scientific minds in the industry, featuring scientific papers and speakers. The show is a marketplace for presentation of products and services for the production of high-grade and competitive paint and coatings.

By this way, our partner David Giner (Al-Farben, Torrecid Group) will present the conference “Easy-Dispersing Inorganic Pigments for Water & Solvent-Based Coatings” next April 9th (5.00-5:30PM) on session 4: Grinding & Dispersing. In this conference, Al-Farben will show the last innovations and advantages for this market.

The Spanish Society of Ceramics and Glass has awarded the Alfa de Oro award to Torrecid Group for the development of ECOINK-CID, the first water-based “full digital” solution for enameling and decorating ceramic tiles. The recognition coincided with the opening day of CEVISAMA, which is being held in Valencia between February 5 and 9th.

This solution is already in production in several customers that the business group based in Alcora has spread across 130 countries around the world. In addition, in the impressive stand presented by Torrecid in CEVISAMA known as Restaurant 55, many of the environments have been produced with the ECOINK-CID solution, so that customers and visitors can already get up close to all the advances and possibilities that can be achieved with this innovation for the ceramic sector.

Federico Michavila, Torrecid’s Chairman and CEO, picked up the award in the room “Joaquín Rodrigo” of Feria Valencia on Monday and said that “this innovation is already transforming the way of making ceramics because you get a superior quality in the finishes and everything from greater respect for the environment, which demonstrates Torrecid’s strong commitment to society and also to offer its customers added value”.

The Alfa de Oro is one of the most outstanding awards in the sector, both nationally and internationally, and Torrecid, which this year celebrates its 55th anniversary, has several of these awards in his resume thanks to innovations that have transformed and revolutionizing the world ceramic sector since the beginning of the 21st century.
