Axalta Coating Systems Opens New Color Solutions Center in Frankfurt, Germany to Serve Industrial Customers Axalta Coating Systems officially opened the Axalta Color Solutions Center in Frankfurt, Germany at the end of February 2018. The Axalta Color Solutions Center was built to serve customers in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) requiring small-scale liquid coatings. It is designed to provide fast, agile production and offer Axalta customers more flexible and customized service from a central European location. The Axalta Color Solutions Center will supply Axalta customers with small batches of industrial liquid paint brands. These include PercoTop® products for various applications ranging from trailers and machinery to doors and window frames; Viter products for general industrial and agricultural, construction and excavation equipment; Acothane™ polyurethanes for internal and external pipeline coatings; and Corroless™ coatings providing highly effective corrosion control on a range of steel structures.Thomas Mangold, Operations Director of Axalta's Industrial Liquid Business in the EMEA region, said "We wanted to create the right conditions that would allow our experienced specialist team to produce small batches of colors, typically under 100 kg. The center also enables Axalta's customers to test small amounts of new liquid products quickly" and added "We continuously improve our customers' experience in terms of convenience and flexibility so they can focus more time on their business and customer focus. This Center will help achieve this." The new center will have 1,300m² of warehouse space and 700m² of workshop space.
