NACE and SSPC news

In March of 2019, NACE International, The Worldwide Corrosion Authority and SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings, announced the initiation of exploratory

discussions about synergistic opportunities that may exist between the two organizations. The discussions were initiated by the board officers of each organization

who recognize the complementary nature of each respective organization's mission, products, and services. Over the next few months, NACE and SSPC staff and

leadership will convene to discuss possible benefits and challenges of the concept.

We greatly value feedback from our members and customers. If you would like to provide feedback or comments on the discussions being held between NACE and SSPC,

please send them to cooperation@nace.org.
