New Powder Coating Case Study - Vulcan Industries
Looking at ROI a year after installation: A powder coating case study that looks at how Vulcan Industries partnered with Nordson Industrial Coating Systems to increase output efficiently.
As the President and General Manager of Vulcan Industries, William Hutson is proud of the growth his company has seen. But when adding hours wasn’t enough to flex to capacity anymore, Hutson and his team knew it was time to meet their growth needs through a capital investment in a new powder coating system.
For nearly 70 years, Vulcan Industries has proudly provided merchandising display solutions to a diverse customer base of retailers and brand marketers. With a customized approach, Vulcan produces a wide variety of colorful in-store displays made of many different materials.
That customization requires as many as seven color changes across two shifts, necessitating a lot of overtime on Vulcan’s powder line. Combined with impressive growth in their business, Hutson decided their powder needs couldn’t be met by adding overtime any longer. It was time to upgrade their powder coating equipment.
“We realized that this exponential growth was starting to drive a lot of capital needs, powder production being one of them. Our production capacity reached a breaking point where we needed a more efficient solution to start to increase output” states Hutson.
