Company opens new surface-coating and metal-finishing facility in Western Australia
SURFACE Technology, a world leader in surface coating and metal finishing, continue their expansion programme with the opening of a new Armourcote Hi-Tech Industrial Coatings plant in Jandakot, Perth, Western Australia.
Following Armourcote Hi-Tech Industrial Coating’s recent integration with Surface Technology, the Group has invested in a larger, purpose-built facility in Jandakot.
The new 2,000 square metre plant is equipped to provide a wide range of surface preparation, specialist engineered coatings and paint systems, and offers three new Australian-compliant coating spray booths.
The move places the business at the heart of Western Australia’s mining and quarrying industries, which are among the key markets for the specialist engineered coating solutions it provides.
Mark Huxley, general manager of Armourcote Hi-Tech Industrial Coatings, said: ‘We are all really excited about the move to the new site; it’s great for the business and for the community of Jandakot.
‘The larger site and convenient location allows us to provide an even greater range and quality of service in surface treatment and coatings to Western Australian industry.’
The move to Jandakot follows Surface Technology’s recent investment in a new site in Dubai.
Jim Davidson, Surface Technology’s regional director for Scotland and the Middle East, said: ‘This is an exciting time for the business as we expand our global portfolio in response to growing business demands. As well as the new sites in Western Australia and Dubai, we have opened a new dedicated office in China this year.
‘This strong global presence positions us well to serve our international customer base and creates a platform from which we can access fast-growing markets.’
