Technicote installs new coater

Technicote has invested in a new 40in coating line at the company’s Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio plant to increase its capacity and drive shorter lead times on specialty products.

The focus of the new coater will be pressure sensitive specialty films and liners as well as custom patterned solutions, including zone and dry edge coatings.

‘It’ such a challenging time in this market, and therefore it’s exciting to see the launch of this new coater. It will add tremendous value to Technicote and for our customers. I’m very proud of the hard work the entire team has done to get us here,’ said Dan Clarke, technical director at Technicote.

The new asset expands the plant’s capability to handle small custom-coat orders with a fast turnaround. The decision to invest in specialty, custom-coat product coating line was driven by increasing demand for Technicote’s application-specific custom products.
