National Surface Finishing Day

Products Finishing partners with thousands of surface finishing operations in the U.S. annually to celebrate National Surface Finishing Day (NSFD) on the first Wednesday in March. NSFD was created to celebrate the industry and share success stories with trade schools, businesses, officials and media, and to recognize the hard work of finishing industry employees. 

Facilities are encouraged to host events and work with local media to build awareness about the contributions made by the surface finishing industry. 

NSFD 2026 will be held on March 4, 2026. Share your story, photos, celebrations and tell the world about the important work you do using the hashtags #NationalSurfaceFinishingDay or #NSFD.
