HOT NEWS: PAPER: CETS warns EU of disastrous ideology of NGOs (30/04/2020)
CETS was established in 1981 with the objective of providing a means for European manufacturers and suppliers of surface treatment plant; equipment and chemicals to exchange information on a wide range of topics of interest.
