Mr. Goethals, business unit manager of Radcure Europe for Surface Specialties UCB, has been a member of RTE’s Management Committee for a number of years. He succeeds Dirk Jägers of the German IST Metz GmbH, who led the association from 2002 to early 2005.
RTE is focusing on the leading European event for radiation curing technology in 2005, its biennial RTE Conference & Exhibition to be held in Barcelona from Oct. 18-20, 2005 in the CCiB International Convention Centre. With the theme “UV/EB – Join the Winning Technology,” the three-day conference will provide a unique European opportunity for obtaining comprehensive information on the technology of UV and EB radiation curing with the participation of raw material suppliers, formulators of inks, coatings and adhesives, equipment manufacturers and end-users.
