Angus Mackie, group MD of Allumette, which includes powder coater Vertik-Al, has been re-elected chair of Qualicoat (UK & Ireland) for a second term.
Mackie said: “It is an honour to be re-elected. My first year was impacted by the pandemic but we have maintained a ‘business as usual’ approach via video conferencing. Online Laboratory Technician training was completed in September and a major research programme into the effects of recycled aluminium, referred to as Qualicoat 3.0, has continued at pace.”
Qualicoat currently has two new powder coating companies close to gaining their licences and a further five have approached the association with a view of becoming members. Online independent inspections have been introduced for current members. An update and further enhancement of the Qualicoat standard is expected soon.
The Qualicoat quality label is a product certification scheme. It is the standard for coated architectural aluminium. Qualicoat (UK & Ireland) is the national association for Qualicoat approved companies. There are currently 18 members of Qualicoat (UK & Ireland) who apply powder coating for architectural purposes, including Vertik-Al.
