BROOK PARK, Ohio, June 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — The Greenkote blank powder coating facility in Louisville, Kentucky, named one of the most advanced in the United States, has just announced that it is making new production capacity available. Among others, the operation has served one of the nation's largest home appliance manufacturers, and it is now accepting a limited number of volume production orders from product manufacturers.

The Louisville facility was specifically designed for powder coating metal "blanks." In this special process, flat metal sheets are punched, notched and cut to the appropriate two-dimensional shape before being sent to Greenkote for powder coating. After coating, the flat parts are returned to the OEM where they are subsequently formed into three-dimensional final-product shapes.
"The Louisville plant was custom-built to be state-of-the-art and is almost totally automated," said Greenkote CEO Mark Gore. "The degree of computer control in our manufacturing and QC allows us to guarantee Grade-A coating quality on one hundred percent of our output. And it is a thick, highly uniform, very tough coating with excellent scratch and mar resistance."
"Normally, one would expect to pay a premium for this level of quality," added James Thomson, Greenkote's COO. "However, with our high throughput speeds and minimum personnel requirements we are able to price our coating services very attractively. Bottom line, we can provide a unique price/performance double benefit to high-volume users of blank powder coating."
Greenkote's eco-friendly blank powder coating can apply a variety of colors and finishes to virtually any flat metal part up to 37 by 80 inches in size. The process is well suited to a spectrum of products that require Grade-A, highly-durable finishes — such as appliances, home and industrial HVAC, metal furniture, lighting fixtures, shelving and displays, automotive components, water heaters, signs, architectural elements and more.
Because the metal sheets remain flat until the very last manufacturing step, Greenkote's blank powder coating can significantly reduce expenses for shipping, handling and storage — dramatically reducing the warehousing space needed for WIP inventory, for example.
Greenkote's 100,000 ft2 Louisville plant runs 24 hours a day, five days a week, and can coat more than 10,000 products per day. The facility also provides up to 40,000 ft2 of space which can be used for managing or warehousing of customer materials or for other production activities.
