AMPP Awards - Recognizing the best in our industry

Receiving an AMPP award is the validation of outstanding contributions and achievements in our industry. The awards recognize the best of the best in all categories and spotlight outstanding achievements in academia, research, technical progress, teaching, mentoring, and work in the field.

The AMPP Awards Program Committee has developed a new slate of awards that embodies the rich legacies of NACE and SSPC while establishing new ways to honor AMPP’s outstanding members. The awards are designed to recognize the contributions of individuals and teams who have made significant advances in the materials protection and performance industry.
