MesoCoat, a subsidiary of Abakan, a Miami-based company, has declared the construction commencement of its new 11,000 sq. ft production facility in Euclid, Ohio, with an investment of $6-million.
The proposed plant will provide enough space to test, produce and commercialize a range of its new products. Abakan will utilize the space to test and develop its portfolio of wear resistant and anti-corrosion coatings.
The new plant will incorporate a CermaClad manufacturing line to produce up to 10,000 square meters of rust and wear-resistant clad pipes, tubes and plates every year. The CermaClad products considerably increase the robustness and life period of the components that are utilized in a range of vital applications such as nuclear power generation and deep-sea oil wells. The proposed plant will have the latest blasting, application and checking equipment to manufacture products with the advanced type of coating. The plant also will incorporate a thermal spray system to market Mesocoat’s PComP group of products and make them suitable for use in the oil and gas, aerospace, chemical processing and mining industries.
The ground work for the Euclid Plant started on 7th April 2011 and the company is looking forward to completing the construction of the building by August 2011, and install the required production equipment in the subsequent two months to enable full-scale production at the plant by the end of 2011. MesoCoat also has made arrangements to double the size of the plant largely by constructing an additional 30,000 sq. ft. space for its research and development facility.
