The special anniversary issue takes a journey through the past 70 years of the association's magazine and the ZKF. The anniversary issue also contains reports on developments in the coatings and vehicle construction business. However, this is not without taking a look at the present and the future, such as the demands of lightweight construction on repair businesses.
With the takeover in January 2016, the editorial team adapted the content of the specialist medium to the current needs of the body and paint industry and the manufacturing sector. "In addition to new content and layout, 'F+K' has also been given a new website; the scope of training articles for trainees has been significantly increased. In addition, 'F+K' is now co-organizer of the Würzburger Karosserie- und Schadenstage, the mega event for the body and paint industry," explains editor-in-chief Konrad Wenz.
"We are proud of a respectable anniversary magazine that is impressive both visually and in terms of content," says Managing Director Florian Fischer: "We are delighted that 'F+K' has been integrated into the landscape of our automotive trade titles in such a short time and that we have been able to further develop the specialist medium with our expertise and adapt it even more closely to the current needs of the industry."
