Finishing Yearbook 2024
Welcome to the 46th edition of the Finishing Industries Yearbook – the essential guide for everyone involved in the UK surface treatment industry. Each year I write a little note about the events of the past year, and how they have affected the industry. Like most my age we only seem to recall the difficulties faced over the past year. However, it is always good to read how the industry circumnavigates each situation. We hope that you find this edition an invaluable aid to sourcing suppliers to provide the solution to your specific needs. It is used by the whole buying chain from trade finishing houses to manufacturers of a wide variety of products from white goods to automotive. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the businesses that have contributed to the compilation of this yearbook. If you have any comments, suggestions or would like to be included in the next edition, please email me at b.williams@turretgroup.com. The Buyers’ Guide categories have been updated this year with the new headings of “Lubricants/Grease” and “Solvent Recovery’. In the Regional Guide, there is the new category of “Chemical Etching & Etch Inspection”. The Finishing Industries Yearbook Team & Finishing Industries Magazine Team wish you all the very best for 2024!
