CPMA Celebrates 100 Years of Industry Leadership

Honoring a Century of Innovation, Advocacy & Color

Since 1925, the Color Pigments Manufacturers Association (CPMA) has been the leading voice for the color pigments industry in North America — driving progress in science and innovation, regulatory advocacy, and sustainability across the color pigments value chain.

In 2025, CPMA proudly marked 100 years of advancing the color pigments industry! To honor this century of impact, we gathered for a special 100th Anniversary Awards Luncheon at the 2025 CAD RETEC Conference in Cleveland, OH.

Check out a recap of the 100th Anniversary Celebration and a list of our centennial award recipients.
