MetoKote Opens New Facility in Mexico

19 November 2008

MetoKote Corporation, an industry leader in metal finishing processes, including electrocoat (e-coat), powder coat, and liquid paint, has opened its newest facility in San Luis Potosí, SLP, Mexico. The plant marks the eighth facility in Mexico for MetoKote, which has a total of 38 facilities across North America, South America, and Europe. MetoKote strategically located this facility in the San Luis Potosí area because of the rapid growth in this region and the strong demand for coatings.

This central region of Mexico, referred to as Bajio and Altiplano areas, is within a two-hour radius of industrial cities such as Queretaro, Aguascalientes Irapuato, Leon, and Silao. The new MetoKote plant currently operates one high-production electrocoat monorail line with a part envelope of 36” × 48” × 72”. The line is designed to coat small to medium-sized parts with a turnaround time of 24 hours or less. This facility also offers light assembly, special packaging for automotive spare parts, labeling, and inventory tracking of customer parts. Once full capacity is reached, the company expects to employ approximately 50 employees.
