Powder Coating Consulting

Powder coating involves 1,000 little things that all need to work well at the same time. It isn’t unusual for one of those “little things” to go wrong, causing your efficiency and profitability to suffer. Powder coating is also highly technical, requiring careful adherence to procedures to produce a high-quality result. To succeed as a powder coating business or manufacturer, you need to balance quality and attention to detail with efficiency and cost. This is where Keystone Koating’s years of experience can benefit you.

Over the past 30+ years, Nelson Zimmerman has built a successful powder coating business with Keystone Koating. Along the way, Nelson has also provided consulting and training to help a wide variety of manufacturers implement and improve their powder coating process.
