"The Coatings Research Institute (CoRI) was created in 1957 to stimulate scientific and technological development in the coatings industry.

For more than 40 years, CoRI has collaborated with industrial partners on an international level.

Basic and applied research on the diverse aspects of coatings science and technology is the driving force behind the development of CoRI which has also gained expertise in technical assistance, training, testing and analyses.
