The 30^th annual meeting for Lederinstitut Gerberschule Reutlingen was held March 18-20 2003, the main theme this year being finishing technology. Attended by 120 participants from 14 different countries, the meeting saw the presentation of 13 technical papers which between them covered research developments, modern application techniques including state of the art roller coating and spray applications with two component in-line mixing of cross-linking compounds.  Other areas covered included working systems for the mixing and dispensing of pigments, leather surface protectants, and practical experience in the UV crosslinking of finishes.  A common strand to all the papers was environmental protection.

The main subjects of the next LGR seminar, to be held early-mid March 2004, will be rawhides and beamhouse.
