Akzo Nobel Inc.[2], based in Nashville, Tenn., announced it is investing in its coil and extrusion coatings manufacturing facility in Garcia, Mexico, to increase production capacity and efficiency for its customers across North America, including Mexico and the southwest region of the U.S.

The investment follows investments in the company’s other industrial coatings manufacturing site in North America in Huron, Ohio, and its manufacturing and R&D facilities at High Point, N.C.

The investment in the Garcia site will enable the plant to increase production of coatings. Stage one was completed with the installation of 12 portable tanks, two mixers for portable tanks, and a fixed tank.

The company’s Garcia site in Mexico is one of its three coil and extrusion coatings-focused manufacturing facilities in North America, including Columbus, Ohio, which specializes in coil and extrusion coatings, and Huron, a site producing resins for coating systems.

Manoel Rodrigues, regional commercial director for coil, Americas, at AkzoNobel, says, “Our customers are increasingly prioritizing sustainability, durability and performance, and demand for coil and extrusion coatings is projected to increase over the next few years. By expanding production and increasing efficiency at our facilities across North America and elsewhere, we’re able to continue growing with our customers, whilst driving innovation and delivering high quality products.”
