    Coatings Sector Warns of Brexit Risks in Major Industry Survey

    Having a competitive UK manufacturing base for paints, coatings and inks is critical to UK industry.

    A survey conducted by the British Coatings Federation (BCF) has revealed some significant concerns of the coatings sector regarding the economic and regulatory landscape post-Brexit. Coatings are an important “enabling” economic sector to other key industries such as automotive and construction, allowing manufacturing to thrive in the UK, so being able to continue to have a competitive UK manufacturing base for paints, coatings and inks is critical to UK industry.
     
    The survey revealed that the majority of coatings companies see Brexit as a risk, rather than an opportunity, with specific concerns surrounding both tariff and non-tariff barriers. Without free trade or the alignment of UK and EU chemical regulations, 10% of companies said they would consider moving their coatings manufacturing business operations to mainland Europe. Serious concerns were also revealed surrounding additional customs bureaucracy and availability of raw materials.
     
    65% of respondents were UK-owned SMEs, and not surprising given the fact that the UK is a net exporter of coatings and printing inks. 86% of companies confirmed that trade with the EU is important to their businesses, with only one third saying that free trade agreements with the rest of the world would be beneficial.
     
    The BCF, along with other trade associations in the chemical supply chain, recently met with representatives from the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs and the Department for International Trade to discuss the survey results and urge government to ensure the UK remains an attractive place for UK and foreign companies to manufacture paints, coatings, printing inks and wallcoverings.
     
    “Over three-quarters of our members said that a separate UK chemical regulatory system would be bad for business,” Tom Bowtell, chief executive of the BCF, said. “Maintaining regulatory equivalence with key EU regulations (REACH, CLP and BPR) through continued relations with institutions such as the European Chemicals Agency is essential to ensure we have a strong UK manufacturing base that can import chemical raw materials from Europe, and export finished goods such as paints, coatings printing inks and wallpaper without being at a competitive disadvantage. This is something we’ve made clear to government and will continue to throughout the negotiating process.”
