PCI invites organizations to take advantage of information, education and representation dedicated to the support and growth of the entire powder coating industry through corporate membership.

Promotion and Networking

Members are promoted daily via their Membership Directory profiles on www.powdercoating.org which receives thousands of unique visitors each month. They are also invited to contribute articles and "white papers” as industry experts for print and online publication. Members also receive discounted rates on advertisements in the Powder Coated Tough magazine and its affiliated products. In addition, members have multiple opportunities for exposure by participating at PCI events at significantly reduced rates. Annual events include a technical conference, summits and a membership meeting.

Professional Development

Every new member receives a copy of the latest edition of the Powder Coating Finisher’s Handbook, a 500+ page, comprehensive guide to the powder coating process. In a recent survey, our members voted this as one of our most important member benefits.

In addition, members have access to discounted training through hands-on workshops, seminars, and webinars. Offerings include both introductory and advanced powder coating courses as well as customized field training.
