Coil Coatings
Beckers’ Coil Coatings business area serves coil coaters and their customers in the architectural, building, transport, domestic appliance, furniture and many other industries.
The market for pre-finished metal
Coil coating has revolutionised processing and developed new downstream markets for sheet metal. It has enabled architects to conceive designs that clients really appreciate, from humble farm buildings to prestigious civic centres.
As prefinishing has taken the paint shop out of hundreds of factories, thousands of products are now made more effectively and efficiently, from auto parts to washing machines.
Many factors have come together to drive this continuing revolution.
- Architects have exploited the striking design possibilities of coil, while their clients have benefited from rapid completion of their buildings.
- Coil coaters and coatings manufacturers have continuously improved product durability, and then segmented coatings ranges to offer coatings that best fit each specific purpose, from short-lived recyclable packaging to long life composite panels for prestige buildings.
- Environmental pressures have encouraged closure of paint shops in favour of coil coating lines with low environmental impact.
The future will bring fresh demands. More architectural practices are working globally — yet style and environment demand local understanding. More coil coaters are operating internationally, meeting increasing demand from designers for products fit for use across a continent.
Deeply involved in the coil market from its beginnings, Beckers’ COIL COATINGS business is working in partnership with coil coaters, architects, designers, specifiers and their customers around the world to develop their competitive advantage.
The Becker Industrial Coatings Coil Coating group (BCC) is headquartered in Sweden and has its main research base (the LTD group) in the UK. From Sweden the technical and marketing co-ordination is carried out for the total coil group, as well as market development activities in areas where Becker Industrial Coatings has no subsidiary companies.
