Invopak is proud to announce that we are now an Associate Member of the British Coatings Federation. This marks an important step for us as a manufacturer and supplier of packaging to the sector, allowing us to stay informed and engaged with the industry issues that affect our customers.
The British Coatings Federation (BCF)
The British Coatings Federation (BCF) is the sole UK Trade Association representing the interests of the decorative, industrial and powder coatings, printing inks and wallcovering manufacturers. Coatings are critical to UK industry, with 300,000 workers relying on these products every day. The UK is a net exporter of coatings and inks, and BCF's members represent 95% of the UK sales of coatings, inks and wallcoverings.
The BCF is a non-profit organisation, with roots that stretch back to 1912, when the National Federation of Associated Paint, Colour and Varnish Manufacturers was founded. The BCF has repeatedly won the UK Trade Association of the Year award for their proactive approach.
The main objectives of the BCF are to:
- Reduce the cost and complexity of regulation
- Enhance competitiveness
- Ensure a level playing field
- Promote the industry and its exports
- Work with our supply chain to maximise influence
- Enhance the attractiveness of the UK as a manufacturing base
- Stimulate sustainable innovation
- Attract and train the next generation of talent
We look forward to supporting the BCF towards these aims, as we continue to champion British manufacturing and sustainable packaging solutions for the paints and coatings industry.
