PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Welcome to the 2013 MP Buyers Guide I am pleased to introduce the 2013 MP Buyers Guide—the world's most comprehensive resource for corrosion control products and services for all industries and requirements. More than 3,000 manufacturers, suppliers, and consultants are participating in this year's guide, topping any previous version. The guide was developed in conjunction with MultiView, Inc., a company that specializes in building and maintaining online buyers guides for national and international associations. The online guide features companies by product and service categories, with capabilities that include live links to e-mail addresses and Web sites, automated e-mail requests for information, and comprehensive searches by company name, products, services, and locations. To access the online guide, go to www.mpbuyersguide.com. This print version is based on data downloaded from the online guide on May 15, 2013, to give our editorial and graphics team the time required to edit, format, and print the guide for distribution in July. More companies may have added or edited listings Tushar Jhaveri President, NACE International since then. If you are with a corrosion control com2013-2014 pany or are self-employed as a consultant and have not submitted a listing, please go to www.mpbuyersguide.com—you can add or edit your online listing at any time throughout the year. Any listings submitted or renewed by next May will appear in the 2014 print guide. The MP Buyers Guide begins with an index of the categories of products and services by page number, followed by an index of companies by product and service category, and then an alphabetized listing of suppliers, manufacturers, and consultants with their contact information. In appreciation of the support of our display advertisers, advertising companies in this issue are highlighted in the product and service index, and have logos, descriptions, and highlights in the contact listing. The issue also contains one of the most popular features of the year—the results of the latest NACE International Corrosion Career Survey. Now in its 15th year, the 2013 survey, which was conducted in April, reveals that the average salary for corrosion professionals continues to climb. In 2011, MP expanded the annual survey to include NACE members in the 17 European Union countries that use the Euro as their currency, in addition to the traditional surveying of members in the United States and Canada. See p. 154 for all the details, including average salary by NACE certifcation. This special issue also includes a feature article on the winning technologies from our second MP Readers' Choice Corrosion Innovation of the Year Awards. See p. 163 for a summary of the award criteria and process, followed by descriptions of each of our reader-selected top 10 innovations for 2013. The MP Buyers Guide is one of many resources NACE International offers its record-high 30,000+ membership as part of its mission to protect people, assets, and the environment from the detrimental effects of corrosion. It is our hope that by using this guide, corrosion professionals will discover new ways to improve operations, reduce costs, and preserve valuable assets well into the future. editorial DIRECTOR, COnTEnT DEvElOpmEnT mAnAGInG EDITOR TEChnICAl EDITOR John h.
