The opening reception for IFAI Expo 2017 kicked off September 27 with a  New Orleans style parade from the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center to the National World War II Museum. The enormous museum features exhibits that cover the epic and global scale of a war that changed the world. One ATA member company, Engineered Polymer Technologies (EPT) of Hillside, N.J., has played a unique role in those museum exhibits.

Edward Silva, EPT vice-president of sales and marketing, explained that Kinon surface design materials are used on the walls at the museum. Kinon is a sister company of EPT. While museum visitors may pay more attention to exhibit items, the Kinon materials enhance the presentations while lending a sense of drama and dignity to the memorable facility.
