This year's DÖRKEN Days took place in Essen on 23rd November. The traditional event has been a staple in the event calendar for over ten years. It is a meeting point for customers, market partners and experts along the entire value chain.
Christos Tselebidis, Vice President Sales Industrial Coatings at DÖRKEN Coatings, welcomed the participants to the ATLANTIC Congress Hotel Essen. After an overview of what's new at DÖRKEN and on the global market, Christian Rabe & Markus Nowak, both from Product Engineering, gave a follow-up to last year's event.
Throughout the day, DÖRKEN employees provided interesting insights into current topics. For example, they talked about the influence of the planned PFAS ban on product development, the DELTA-PROTEKT® TC 502 GZ topcoat, which was presented in 2023, and room-temperature curing corrosion protection solutions. But business partners also had the opportunity to share their experiences. Beatrice Occhionero from A. AGRATI S. p. A. gave a presentation entitled "Enhancing of Testing Insights: A Deep Dive into massive Data Analysis". Geoffrey Bruno from Enovasense reported on the topic of coating thickness measurement.
The event concluded with a presentation on "Digital Transformation" by Marvin Urban. Urban is one of two managing directors of DÖRKEN Digital Ventures GmbH, which is addressing the market challenges of the future.
