The 15,000-sq-ft Austria plant expands Extreme Coatings’ global footprint which includes op- erations in India, South Korea, and Chile. ‘‘The market demand for our wear- resistant coatings has shown expo- nential growth in several key applica- tion areas for quite some time,” said Caplan. “We’ve expanded our global footprint so we can break the logisti- cal logjam that exists today and en- sure stable supply to all key European regions.” Extreme Coatings has established a licensing agreement with Austria’s FS Maschinenbau, a family-owned engineering services business, to pro- vide engineering and manufacturing services. Extreme Coatings has trans- ferred technology and know-how to FS Maschinenbau and new equip- ment has already been installed at the new plant. ‘‘We’re thrilled about our partner- ship with Extreme Coatings and look forward to delivering expert engi- neering and manufacturing capa- bilities that will ensure steady supply of product for years to come,“ said Markus Secklehner, Chief Operating Officer of FS Maschinenbau. Europe continues to be a growing area for plastics manufacturing with feedscrew coatings playing a pivotal role in optimizing the performance of injection molding and extrusion machinery for production of automo- tive, household goods, and building products. Extreme Coatings‘ thermal spray technology applies wear- and cor- rosion-resistant CarbideX protective coatings made of tungsten or chro- mium carbide to virtually any new or repaired feedscrew. The process provides a crack- and porosity-free coating within thicknesses ranging from .004-in to .017-in per side and hardness values over 60HRc. Carbi- deX Proline formulations deliver like- new performance and at least two to three times longer equipment life. Extreme Coatings www.extremecoatings.net
