Updates

This year we are once again guests at the Powder Symposium in Dresden.

In addition to exciting lectures, Germany's largest industry meeting in the sector of coating is every year again a place for networking and exchange.

The sales region of Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia has been professionally looked after by André Feldsmann for years. Since 1st October, Dennis Bech has been at his side as a new colleague. Mr. Bech has several years of experience in the painting industry and can provide practice-oriented and technically versed advice on all issues.

For our managing director Michael Hauptstock, knowledge transfer is an essential key to success. Long-standing, successful customer relationships are based on extensive experience, which has to be passed on to new employees. They come to CENARIS with creative ideas and new techniques. Early involvement of the next generation as well as a lively exchange among each other are therefore actively promoted.
The CENARIS Managing Director is certain that the close cooperation between Mr Feldsmann and Mr Bech will result in a good transfer of knowledge and that CENARIS customers will benefit from this.

We are pleased to have won Mr Bech for our team and wish him a good start.
 

The world's leading trade fair for industrial painting technology in Karlsruhe finally took place again after a four-year break due to the pandemic.

We were able to welcome many visitors to our booth, have great conversations and take a photo or two with our famous companions.

And we are already looking forward to seeing you again in Karlsruhe from 09 to 12 April 2024 at the next PaintExpo.

We are expanding the scope of our sales activities and, in addition to our national business, we will now also increasingly focus on international business. After a long period of successful management of the German sales department, Christian Henke will head our newly initiated export division. With Mr. Henke, we will benefit from his experience as a sales manager as well as from his many years of affiliation with CENARIS.

The national sales business will be managed by Angelo Sas in the future. Mr. Sas, who has been with the company since 2015, previously held various positions in internal sales and will now manage the national business in close cooperation with Mr. Henke. With this change, we at CENARIS are relying on the strengths and experience of our colleagues and on a forward-looking, in-house succession solution.

With Regulation (EU) 2020/2017, the EU Commission has published that the white pigment titanium dioxide is to be classified as a category 2 carcinogen with the hazard statement "May probably cause cancer by inhalation" (14th ATP to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008). Consequently, powdery mixtures as well as liquid mixtures containing titanium dioxide have to be labelled. This applies to mixtures containing more than 1% titanium dioxide particles with an aerodynamic diameter < 10 micrometres.

An independent testing institute has carried out tests on powder coatings with regard to the aerodynamic diameter and the titanium dioxide content. The tests carried out in accordance with DIN EN 15051-2 came to the conclusion that the powder coatings tested and their wastes contain significantly less than 1 percentage point by weight of titanium dioxide with an aerodynamic diameter < 10 micrometres.

Our powder coatings therefore do not meet the criteria for classification as carcinogenic provided for in the CLP regulations and therefore do not need to be labelled.

From 14 to 15 September 2021, we were guests at the 31st Powder Symposium in Dresden. At Germany's largest industry get-together, we exchanged views with experts on the latest products, advances and challenges in the powder coatings industry.
 
The annual symposium at the International Congress Center Dresden offers the opportunity to take part in a wide range of specialist presentations and discussions and to exchange ideas on topics such as optimisation potential in the field of powder application, sustainable and resource-saving coating or the improvement of quality requirements.

With Martin Houschka, we were once again able to win a highly motivated, young colleague for our sales force.
