SSPC and Chinese Corrosion Society form SSPC chapter in China

SSPC Executive Director Bill Shoup and Chinese Society for Corrosion and Protection (CSCP) President Guangzhiang Chen signed an agreement on October 23, 2006, at the East China University of Science & Technology in Shanghai, creating SSPC-C, the official chapter representing SSPC in China. SSPC-C has 12 founding members, including Sherwin-Williams, PPG, Jotun, Hempel, ICI, International Paint, Sigma, Bayer MaterialScience, YungChi, Dalian YuXiang, CNCCC (China National Chemical Construction Corporation), and Marine Research Institute.

The signing ceremony took place in conjunction with the 14th Annual Asia- Pacific Corrosion Control Conference (APCCC) that was held in Shanghai. Those present at the ceremony, in addition to Mr Shoup and Professor Chen, were Carl Angeloff, P.E., of Bayer MaterialScience and Immediate Past President of SSPC; Mr Xilin Li of Bayer MaterialScieince; and Mr David Xu, also with Bayer MaterialScieince. All present at the signing were instrumental in the cultivation of the relationship between SSPC and CSCP and founding the chapter.

Mr Li has been selected as the President of SSPC-C and will represent SSPC China for next four years. He will be assisted by Mr Xu, who will be Executive Director of SSPC-C. The executive committee will be selected at the SSPC-C December meeting.

SSPC-C will work with CSCP to establish training and certification standards in the Chinese protective coatings industry and offer SSPC's training and certification courses throughout China.
