For a global organization such as MFN it is always important to look for the right strategic partners and to work out synergies in order to remain internationally successful. MFN has over time established worldwide partnerships with scientific organizations, publishing houses, aviation authorities, auditing organizations, universities and exhibitions. This global network helps the magazine to have access to premium experts and professionals on all continents. Such resources greatly improve not only the quality of editorial contributions, but also help to provide premium training for various processes.

Therefore MFN is very pleased, that an agreement with the Managing Director, Juergen Haussmann of PaintExpo was made, in which MFN became "The Official Partner In Education Of PaintExpo". PaintExpo is the leading international trade fair for suppliers and users of industrial coating technology. There is no other trade fair attended by so many top decision makers from companies who use coating processes. Users can find the best selection of goods within the industrial coating industry. In recent years they had nearly 6000 specialist visitors from over 40 countries that took advantage of this opportunity.

The partnership between MFN and PaintExpo makes sense for many reasons. Both organizations have a very international customer base with leading trademarks in their field and benefit from each other’s marketing efforts. Furthermore, MFN will, in cooperation with JOT, German's no. 1 publication in surface preparation, develop a training course for INDUSTRIAL COATING. This training will also be introduced during PaintExpo at some point in time. So visitors to the exhibition will also have the opportunity of attending an industrial coating training course. This mixture of exhibition and training is certainly attractive. For MFN, PaintExpo is the right platform to host such a workshop, since thousands of people with this particular interest are already meeting at one location and time.

MFN is very optimistic that the partnership with PaintExpo will be mutually beneficial and successful and will last for many years to come! On behalf of the whole MFN team we would like to thank all involved parties for making this milestone agreement possible!
