Title
International Paint and Printing Ink Council - IPPIC
Description
Over the last several years, common issues facing the paint and printing ink industries on a global level have increased significantly. While it is always a constant challenge for each individual country to manage the myriad of domestic regulations, it has become increasingly difficult to interpret the potential impact of foreign issues. In 1992, in an attempt to improve communication and to coordinate industry policy on matters of international concern, the International Paint and Printing Ink Council was formed. Comprised of paint and printing ink associations representing Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, Japan, Mexico and the United States, the IPPIC was established to ensure that the industry, in coordinating the development of industry policy on international issues, fully discussed and analyzed the global implications. In 2005 IPPIC was granted NGO status from the United Nations (UN) and will highlight international industry issues to the UN and it's governing body.
The IPPIC does not set policy, but rather, provides a forum for information exchange and cooperation on the major issues and priorities facing paint and printing ink industries worldwide. The IPPIC acts as a focal point for monitoring and communicating specified international issues; develops recommendations and analyses on selected issues of common interest to the participating organizations and attempts to derive a common position (in conjunction with the governing bodies of the respective participants); coordinates industry positions and communicates with other international organizations; and serves as a forum for open dialogue and exchange between the participating organizations on issues of common interest.
Members of the IPPIC include the Asian Paint Industry Council (APIC), the Australian Paint Manufacturers' Federation (APMF), the Brazilian Paint Manufacturers Association (ABRAFATI), the Canadian Paint and Coatings Association (CPCA), the European Confederation of Paint, Printing Ink and Artists' Colours Manufacturers' Associations (CEPE), the Japan Paint Manufacturers Association (JPMA), the Mexican Paint and Printing Ink Manufacturers' Association (ANAFAPYT), the National Association of Printing Ink Manufacturers (NAPIM), the National Paint and Coatings Association (NPCA), and the Philippine Association of Paint Manufacturers (PAPM).
