1
33-Foot Part Capacity
Our horizontal production lines handle parts up to 33 feet long — the largest capacity within 500 miles. This means full-length curtainwall mullions, continuous extrusions, and large panels can be finished without field splices or color-matching issues.
2
7-Stage Pretreatment
While most competitors use 5-stage spray systems, our 7-stage full-immersion pretreatment provides superior surface preparation. This translates to better coating adhesion, improved corrosion resistance, and longer service life — especially critical for coastal and harsh environments.

Liquid + Powder Under One Roof
We're one of the few applicators offering both liquid Kynar and powder coating in the same facility. For projects requiring mixed specifications, this eliminates coordination between multiple vendors, reduces shipping, and ensures consistent quality across all components.
