25th International conference on Automotive Body Finishing

Majestic Barrière - CANNES 30th June & 1st July 2011

President’s welcome
Modernity and tradition are key to SURCAR 2011.

Modernity with the addition of new key players within the Technical and Scientific Committee. Modernity through selecting presentations from new countries for SURCAR. Tradition by coming back to CANNES enabling SURCAR 2011 to put its roots into a more than 45-years Congress history. Tradition through a steady concern to introduce, during a SURCAR, the most recent technical innovations as well as high-performance and original paintshops. For this 2011 edition, the Technical and Scientific Committee is proud to include in the programme technical contributions from nearly each continent. Our little world of automotive body finishing has been able to show its dynamism by contributing to the development of this original program. It is in this revamped context that I’m certain SURCAR 2011 will be a complete success and will pave the way to exciting future editions. I am therefore thrilled and impatient to welcome you next June, 30th and July, 1st in Cannes for SURCAR 2011.

Looking forward to seeing you,

Pierre PENIN,
President of the SURCAR Technical and Scientific Committee
