ISF 2006 The Metal Finishers’ Association of India (MFAI) is pleased to organize a three-day Conference-cum Exhibition INDIAN SURFACE FINISHING 2006 (ISF 2006) from 2nd to 4th of February, 2006. Following the ASIA INTERFINISH 2002, held in November 2002 in New Delhi, ISF 2006 will provide various opportunities to the surface finishing fraternity from industry, industrial and academic research and teaching institutions. Exhibitors can showcase their products, processes and services. Scientists and researchers from industrial research centres, national laboratories, universities and other institutions can present papers on on-going work and emerging areas of surface finishing technology, including newer materials, nanotechnology, microgalvanotechniques and so on. For the delegates, ISF 2006 will provide an opportunity to interact with members of the fraternity and develop new contacts with firms and institutions, particularly through the Marketing Platform and Job-Platers’ Platform. Although generally the rapid progress in the information technology sector in India steals the limelight, the rapidly changing scenario vis-à-vis industries with which surface finishing is closely associated – automotive, electrical and electronics, hardware, jewellery, nuclear plants, plastics and space- is less in the limelight. Thus, all major global players in the automotive and electronics sectors have established either full-fledged research and technology centres or manufacturing activities in India in the past few years. It is the endeavour of the MFAI to bring once again the surface finishing fraternity from industry, research and academia “under one roof”, thereby contributing to the growth of this vital area of our economy.
