The VOA supports its members by offering a wide range of services and places the topic on the agenda vis-à-vis politicians. Every day, it dedicates itself to the latest findings from science and research in the field of surface finishing. Future-oriented topics are dealt with in project groups established for a limited period of time, with the aim of providing member companies with up-to-date technical expertise.
The effects of the energy crisis in particular determined the actions of the VOA members in the past business year. Therefore, the VOA reactivated the project group "Energy" in 2022. In addition, the VOA as general licensee of the international quality marks QUALANOD and QUALICOAT as well as holder of the quality mark QUALISTRIP informed about the further development of the far-reaching quality standards, the testing system as well as the new quality mark QUALICOAT 3.0 for sustainable construction projects.
