A successful debut & showcase at NFPA 2026
Our anti-fouling team ensured CPCL’s National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Conference & Expo exhibiting debut was a resounding success!
The world-class event, running from 22nd – 24th June 2026, brought together a passionate, global community of fire, electrical and life protection professionals. Attended by 8,600 representatives promoting fire door labels, fire hydrants, fire alarm panels and much more, NFPA 2026 covered every aspect of fire prevention.
Matthew Lamb, Anti-Fouling Product Manager, and Marcus Hardy, Technical Manager, were kept busy on the booth as the only anti-fouling specialists present at the event. Read all about their experiences in Las Vegas below.
Reaching a global audience
As thousands of delegates from 88 countries swept into Las Vegas for NFPA 2026, the team diligently set up at booth #130 alongside Brown Corrosion Services, Inc. – our highly valued partners based in Houston.
They met with representatives of several high-profile organisations based across the globe, and discussed the incredible impact of CPCL’s anti-fouling solutions. “It was a pleasure speaking with vendors, professionals and experts based in the US and internationally,” says Matthew.
“During the Expo, we spoke with many people who had never considered anti-fouling previously, as it isn’t included within the NFPA specifications. However, the discovery of our distinctive products and services generated a significant level of interest.”
Productive conversations
Throughout the course of the event, Marcus and Matthew spoke with an array of representatives - operating throughout the USA, Brazil, the Caribbean, the UK, Mexico and further afield in a diverse range of industries. Many of these organisations didn’t realise the potential and importance of anti-fouling prior to speaking with our specialists.
“The level of interest over the course of three days was far greater than we anticipated,” reveals Marcus. “Monday and Tuesday were exceptionally busy on the booth, on multiple occasions we had a queue lining up whilst we were speaking with various delegates.
“It was clear that many of the booth visitors were not aware these types of technologies were available. This led to many highly informative, productive conversations with experts in a plethora of fields.”
An unforgettable experience
It wasn’t all hard work in Las Vegas! Matthew and Marcus managed to explore the state of Nevada, and visit some of the hotspots to tick off the bucket list.
The imposing Hoover Dam was a highlight of the trip. The duo also paid a visit to one of the hottest places on Earth – Furnace Creek in Death Valley.
That concludes another highly valuable presentation of our anti-fouling capabilities. We’d like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who visited our booth, and if you are interested in learning more then don’t hesitate to contact us.
