On 4 July, the BCF celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Society of British Printing Ink Manufacturers joining forces with the Paintmakers Association to form the British Coatings Federation. The wallcoverings sector joined BCF in 2005.

The celebration coincided with the recent opening of Spectra House, the BCF’s new home in Coventry, and was held during a BCF Printing Ink Technical Committee meeting, attended by over 20 printing ink members.

CEO of the BCF Tom Bowtell said, ‘Printing inks are a very important sector to the BCF, making up over 20% of the membership. We continue to campaign on key issues for printing ink members such as achieving a positive Brexit outcome for the industry and promoting best practice when using printing inks, especially when related to food packaging.’
