OBJECTIVE
Promosurf actively works to provide relevant and rewarding events for VOM members and all interested parties.
The main aim is to share knowledge and exchange ideas on important topics such as innovations, process improvements and environmentally relevant topics without focusing on one specific surface treatment. The activities always focus on progress and sustainable development for our industry.

Next event
Study Day – Protective Coatings and Cathodic Protection for Steel Structures in Soil & Water
The selected theme, which will also be the focus of the December edition of VOMinfo, is Protective Coatings & Cathodic Protection. Given the broad scope of this technology, it has been decided to focus the study day specifically on underground and underwater applications.
The detailed program and venue will be announced soon.
