Outsource Your Metal Painting, and Insource Your Profits

Like most manufacturers, you're probably burdened with adapting your paint shop to changing environmental standards, stringent health regulations, and skyrocketing overhead. Outsourcing your metal treatment and coating operations can alleviate.even eliminate.all of these hassles and costs.

All businesses are trying to lower costs and remain competitive. Conversion to prepaint is the answer for manufacturers seeking ways to pare down unnecessary costs.

A Prepaint Conversion Team, consisting of internal and external managers and suppliers, should be established to analyze your products and process, to determine if prepaint conversion is practical. This team can also act as a steering committee once implementation begins.

After the initial analysis has determined that the use of prepaint is practical, a cost justification study should be conducted to determine the full economic impact of the proposed conversion. This analysis should answer three major questions:

What additional costs will be incurred by converting to prepaint?
What is the offsetting cost savings from eliminating post-paint?
What is the bottom-line benefit of converting to prepainted metal?

Once the conversion process is complete, your plant will run more efficiently, more effectively, and more economically. Improve your product. Improve your bottom line. Coil coating is your solution.
