See how Global Finishing Solutions® (GFS) products have played a key role in the success of industrial finishers and manufacturers, and learn how we can benefit your business.
When Robinson Inc. decided to bring powder coating in house with a new 90,000-square-foot paint and coatings facility, they wanted equipment they could trust from a manufacturer offering local support. Bob Whitefield turned to GFS and local distributor ICAFe — and in 2021, two batch powder coating lines were installed, giving Robinson newfound capabilities to fast-track their growth.
As Bob’s Machine Shop evolved into one of the country’s premier manufacturers of jack plates for boats, their finishing equipment needed an upgrade. A new Performer ES Paint Booth from GFS with long-lasting GFS Wave exhaust filters has Steven Pelini confident in his company’s future, thanks to increased production, shorter lead times and improved efficiency.
Eric Zimmermann has experienced the damaging effects a production bottleneck can have on a business. When Valme North America was looking for finishing equipment for their new Wisconsin facility, he turned to GFS because he needed a paint booth manufacturer with local support that he could trust.
When Amerequip needed new finishing equipment, the decision to invest in a Batch Burn-Off Oven from GFS was an easy one, as Nick Vollrath knew the payback period would be short and trusted the equipment manufactured in his backyard.
Codes and standards outlining proper paint storage guidelines minimize risks and protect your workers, equipment and facility. Understanding those codes and standards is key when storing, dispensing or mixing paint and selecting the right type of enclosure for your needs.
For industrial manufacturers with conveyor systems in their paint operation, an effective preventative maintenance plan can often be the difference between running at peak efficiency and suffering through costly downtime. Routine preventative maintenance and proper cleaning help ensure your conveyor system is operating efficiently, saving you time and money.
One of the most efficient and cost-effective ways for manufacturers to clean parts is by using industrial pretreatment washers. They are essential to ensuring powder or paint adheres properly to parts. They also lay the groundwork for consistent, quality finishes, and prevent corrosion from forming on parts.
Having the proper dust collection equipment can help protect stone fabrication workers who may be inhaling dangerous amounts of silica dust while cutting, grinding and sanding pieces of “engineered stone” to make kitchen and bathroom countertops. Dust Collection Modules provide a safe, effective way for manufacturers to contain dust produced from sanding, grinding and blasting applications.
