Post-Paint to PrePaint
Post-Paint To Prepaint
Metal Coaters specializes in the conversion of manufacturers from their inefficient post-painted processes, to the use of highly efficient prepainted metal. When this opportunity arises, a dedicated supply chain team is created to identify the customer’s needs and to engineer coating systems that meet their specific requirements. This conversion saves the customer a substantial amount of capital by reducing or eliminating work-in-progress inventories, warehouse space, material handling processes, environmental concerns and insurance costs.
