Representing the Industry
The NZPMA is involved in a number of associations and organisations, both nationally and internationally, developing contacts so we can advocate and support the industry when required.
These include:
World Coatings Council (WCC)
For over two decades, the World Coatings Council (previously called IPPIC) has worked to improve communication and coordinate policy on matters of international concern to the paint and printing inks industry. The council provides a forum for exchange and cooperation on major issues and priorities facing the industry and has established itself as a global voice for the industry.
In 2005 IPPIC was granted NGO status from the United Nations Economic and Social Council and will highlight international industry issues to the UN and its governing body. In 2019, the name of the International Paint and Printing Ink Council (IPPIC) was changed to the World Coatings Council.
Membership to this council is extremely beneficial to the NZPMA as we interact closely with member associations around the world.

Australian Paint Manufacturers Federation (APMF)
The APMF or Australian Paint Manufacturers’ Federation is our sister association in Australia, and being a much larger operation with full-time employed staff, has access to a larger number of forums than the NZPMA.
There are a large number of closely aligned issues on both sides of the Tasman, and indeed many of our members have representation within both Organisations. We are very grateful to the APMF for sharing a lot of information that saves us ‘re-inventing the wheel’.

Surface Coatings Association of New Zealand (SCANZ)
SCANZ is the professional body of individuals involved in the surface coatings industry.
While the NZPMA works to grow and support the industry, SCANZ works to grow and support the people within the industry, so the two organisations are different sides of the same coin. The NZPMA supports SCANZ by supplying speakers to the annual conference.

NZ Institute of Chemistry
The NZ Institute of Chemistry has a publication ‘Chemical Processes in New Zealand’ that, while written in 1998, is still the most comprehensive account of the practice of chemistry in New Zealand. The Polymers and Surface Coating section has some very interesting details.
