The Europäische Gesellschaft für Lackiertechnik e.V. (EGL) is the professional association for specialists from the coating sector. The EGL admits individuals as members and cooperates closely with the Deutschen Forschungsgesellschaft für Oberflächenbehandlung e.V. (DFO), that exclusively admits companies as members.

The organization functions as an interface between practice, research, and science in coating technology. It addresses employees from:

  • paint users
  • paint suppliers
  • raw material suppliers for the paint industry
  • pretreatment suppliers
  • plant and equipment suppliers
    and also
  • students and
  • trainees in the field of paints / coating technology.

The EGL promotes regional and supra-regional know-how exchange among specialists, e.g. by participating in the EGL Coating Technology Meetings.

At present these meetings are only being held in Germany. After an initial set-up phase, meetings will also take place in other parts of Europe.

For these meetings the EGL will rely on the support of its "European" members.
Close relations and/or agreements on special conditions for purchase are currently in effect with the magazines European Coatings Journal, JOT, and Metalloberfläche.
