January 2026 Update: Precision and Resilience for the New Year
As we step into 2026, the team here at Erie Powder Coating Technology is hitting the ground running. Looking back on over four decades of serving the tri-state area, our mission hasn’t changed: providing a finish that doesn’t just look great, but stands the test of time against the toughest conditions.
Beating the Great Lakes Winter
With the harsh January weather hitting Ohio, New York, and Pennsylvania, we are seeing a high demand for high-durability infrastructure coatings. This is where our specialization in thermoplastic coatings (including PVC, Nylon, and Polyethylene) really shines. Whether it’s frames, railings, or wireforms, these heavy-duty barriers are essential for long-term corrosion protection in our climate.
Why Our Process Matters
In a world of automation, we still believe in the “human touch” for custom work.
- Manual Electrostatic Spraying: This allows us to maintain the attention to detail required for complex custom parts that automated lines often miss.
- Fluidized-Bed Process: For those needing a thicker, “armor-like” finish, our dip method remains a gold standard for functional, long-lasting protection.
Rapid Turnaround & Color Inventory
We know that in 2026, lead times are everything. To help you get your projects back on-site faster, we’ve fully restocked our color-ready inventory. By utilizing the Standard RAL Color system, we can match your specifications quickly and accurately. From “Safety Yellow” for industrial safety to sleek architectural finishes, we have the capacity to handle your Q1 production runs.
A Note to Our Partners
To our loyal customers in the Youngstown, Jamestown, and Erie corridors: thank you for continuing to trust us with your metal products. As an employee-owned corporation, we take a personal stake in every rack of parts that moves through our ovens.
