Lititz-based Keystone Koating, an industrial powder coating provider, has been serving Central Pennsylvania’s manufacturing sector since 1986.

The company provides epoxy, polyester and fluoropolymer powder coating options to HVAC producers, agricultural equipment fabricators and automotive component makers. It operates two facilities, having added a Mifflintown location in 2005.

“We only use powder coatings from the industry’s top names and offer a wide selection of durable powders proven to take the worst nature has to offer without fading, wear or damage,” the company said in a statement. “We continually optimize our process to ensure the best quality finish every time.”

To create high-volume powder coating, the process must move large quantities of parts without variability. The company’s eight-stage pretreatment system process covers metal finishing from initial blasting and surface preparation through quality testing and final shipment. This results in a coating with resistance to chipping and the adhesion to hold up across demanding industrial specifications.

The process also allows fabricators to maintain consistent schedules across high-volume runs, and fast turnaround times help production teams maintain their timelines.

Epoxy, polyester, and fluoropolymer options provide flexibility.

The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, PCI 3000 Custom Coater certification, AAMA 2604/2605-compliant applicator status and IFS registered applicator status.
