Let's Talk About Our Reliable Manufacturing Processes

 

25% of the manufacturing cost is in finishing, but it can increase the value of the finished product by 50% or more.

Digital Information World, August 2013

The finish is the last step in your manufacturing process and the first attribute that consumers notice, it has the ability to compliment or contaminate design, to impress or suppress client interest and provide a variety of options to enhance product performance, the marketing and the manufacturing of your product.

We are all looking for a way to make an impact on our business – to make your product better, to offer your customers a competitive advantage, and also to make improvements to your manufacturing process that saves labor, time and material costs.  Finishes designed for your product, for your process, and for your people take away the unpredictable and unreliable aspects out of your finishing process –  look no further than your finish.

Let’s explore what goes into a quality finish

CONFIRMATION

How do we know our coatings are going to work? It’s simple, we test them. Each of our finishes undergoes a rigorous evaluation process before leaving our facility. Color, Gloss, Viscosity and Cure are all measured and recorded. Coatings are then applied and cured in the manner in which the client uses them to make sure they will perform as designed. Comparisons are made between the last batch and original retains to ensure consistency. Repeatable, Predictable, Reliable – Every Time.
