The Axalta Color Solutions Center will supply Axalta customers with small batches of its industrial liquid paint brands including: PercoTop® products for applications that range from trailers and machinery to doors and window frames; Viter products for general industrial and agricultural, construction and earthmoving equipment; AcothaneTM polyurethanes for internal and external pipeline coatings; and CorrolessTM coatings for highly effective corrosion control on a range of steel structures.
“We wanted to create the right conditions that would enable our highly-skilled team of experts to colour match and produce small batches, typically under 100kg. The Center also allows Axalta’s customers to test small quantities of new liquid products with very short lead times,” says Thomas Mangold, Axalta’s Business Director for the Industrial Liquid business in the EMEA region. “We’re always looking to better our customer’s experience in terms of convenience and flexibility, to allow them more time to focus on their business and customers. This Center will help achieve that.”
