This January,CoatingsPro Magazine (San Diego, California) is celebrating 15 years of covering industry trends, technological breakthroughs, and the people, products, and solutions of the high-performance coatings industry.
“From the first issue of CoatingsPro, the goal was to produce something the industry needed, something it didn’t have,” says Bill Wageneck, the magazine’s publisher.
“Over the years our readers, authors, and advertisers have helped make the magazine the best publication there is for coatings professionals worldwide,” he adds. “And we continue to do it in a way that is fresh and unlike anything else out there for industrial and commercial contractors.”
For the anniversary issue in January, CoatingsPro included several special features.
Those features are led by a special “15 Years of CoatingsPro” timeline, highlighting special moments since November 2001, and a “15 Years of Industry Insight” section. That section includes a roundtable discussion with five industry experts. It is available in the print issue, with bonus information available online.
Other special features include an “Industry Insight” column from veteran contributing editor Jack Innis, as well as a “Greatest Hits” series. In this series, the magazine follows up with some of the most-read stories from the magazine’s 15-year history and offers a new update on the subject.
The first installment of this special series is titled “The Adventures of Overspray,” and it can be read exclusively online.
Originally launched in November 2001 with a print circulation of 17,000,
