Training Services

Falcon sponsors comprehensive paint training courses for its clients as needed by our customers. This training takes place in Miami, Florida and Falcon works closely with your in-house paint formulators to utilize local raw materials and to restructure your existing paints to bring about improved performance and significant cost savings. We commerce in the business of ideas, professional training and value enhancement using only state-of-the-art paint technologies and paint theory. To better support the training and technology exchange efforts with the client, Falcon also has available trained paint formulators and engineers to scale up in the plant and to make commercially viable the extensive training that underpins our mutual efforts with the client. This makes Falcon quite unique in the worldwide paint industry.
