The strategic event of the year for the future of surface treatment
REACH, Authorizations, Alternatives: The time has come for industry to make choices.
More than eight years after the introduction of the REACH authorization system, the industrial transition is accelerating. Don't miss this ninth edition of the A3TS General Assembly, the leading event for understanding regulatory issues and discovering mature alternative solutions for light alloys, steels, and decorative applications.
Why is this event unmissable?
This year, we are expanding our scope. The program brings together top regulatory authorities and industry giants for two days of analysis and concrete feedback.
1. An Exceptional Regulatory Summit
For the first time, we will have the honor of welcoming the central figure in European regulation:
The European Commission, ECHA, and UITS will give presentations on developments in the REACH regulatory framework to provide insight into future deadlines at source.
Stellantis & the PFA: A comprehensive overview of the complex regulatory environment ("Omnibus," PFAS) affecting automotive design.
2. The Vision of Major Decision Makers
How are leaders in the aerospace, automotive, and energy industries driving this transformation? Come and hear the strategies of:
AIRBUS HELICOPTERS: Presentation of their industrial substitution roadmap and review after 10 years of projects.
STELLANTIS: Focus on technical developments for decorative and styling parts.
SAFRAN & FRAMATOME: Feedback and sector outlook.
3. The Crossroads of Innovations and Alternative Solutions
Thanks to the high-quality proposals we received, we can offer you a comprehensive overview of ready-to-use technologies and technological breakthroughs.
Quality Control Revolution: Discover Socomore's first non-destructive detection solution for colorless trivalent conversions, finally meeting the challenge of layer visibility.
The Alternative to Hard Chrome:
The IRT M2P will unveil its latest advances in trivalent hard chrome plating with inorganic ligands (stable at high temperatures) and the comparative results of the NEPTUNE project.
Schlötter will present "APEXCHROME" as well as the innovative SnNiC (Fortistan C) coating with exceptional tribological properties.
CETIM andUMONS will share their assessments of industrial solutions and nanocrystalline nickel deposits.
Decoration & Sustainable Metallization: SurTec will demonstrate how to achieve colors identical to Chrome VI (L 83-85) with Chrome III, ensuring perfect aesthetic continuity.
Aluminum Performance: Focus on improving CrVI-free passivation with X-ray fluorescence analysis to optimize corrosion and conductivity.
🌍 An international and bilingual edition
In order to ensure smooth communication between European authorities and French industry, the conferences will be held in French with English subtitles.
The detailed program will be posted online in December 2025.
