MetoKote Receives Supplier Performance Award from Cardington Yutaka Technologies, Inc.

5/5/2016

LIMA, OH, May 5, 2016– MetoKote Corporation’s Lima, Ohio facility, was awarded the Supplier Performance award from Cardington Yutaka Technologies, Inc. at their annual Supplier Conference held April 21 in Waldo, Ohio.

MetoKote has been providing high-temperature, liquid paint services to Cardington Yutaka Technologies for their exhaust components for over 15 years. This award was granted for the outstanding scheduling flexibility and part turnaround given to Cardington throughout the past year.

“The plant staff and employees are very excited to win this award,” stated Mark Blasiman, Sales Account Manager for MetoKote Corporation. “We view Cardington as a partner and we strive to offer them top-notch service along with an exceptionally well coated part.”
High-temperature resistant coatings are designed to withstand temperatures ranging from 300° F to 1,200° F while providing excellent protection against corrosion. MetoKote provides two color options to Cardington, silver and black, and apply the single-component material utilizing two highly efficient robotic systems. Heat resistance coatings are primarily used with exhaust system components due to the extreme temperatures to which these components are exposed. 

The MetoKote – Lima facility, established in 1972, is one of thirty facilities located in seven countries, and it is the largest and the most diverse MetoKote location. Located next to the corporate office, this facility has been certified to ISO/TS 16949 since 2005 and is often used to test next generation coatings, as well as launching new specialty coatings. In addition to the high temperature liquid paint, the plant also offers electrocoat, powder coat, aluminum pretreatment and general-purpose metal cleaning services to many different industries.

A message from Chairman and CEO Michael H. McGarry

I hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe and healthy.

At the center of our company’s purpose is a commitment to “protect and beautify the world.” Today, the word “protect” is taking on an even greater significance to all of us. We are focused on protecting our people, customers and all of our stakeholders.

I want to share steps that our global PPG team is taking to proactively navigate these unprecedented times.

First, as the coronavirus began impacting China and subsequently spreading quickly around the world, PPG instituted proactive safety measures including immediately restricting all employee travel to, from and within countries considered high risk. We then put into place travel bans preventing all travel for non-essential purposes.

We are providing ongoing instructions and communications with employees on this issue, encouraging heightened awareness of general hygiene precautions, social distancing and adjusting operations according to regulations and our customers’ needs. We have directed our office employees to work remotely and have put actions in place globally at all our facilities, stores, distribution centers, and labs to ensure we keep our people safe. We continue to comply with and support all government regulations and public-health guidelines around world.

PPG people are committed to operating safely and providing the products and services that you count on. This is what inspires us and we call it “The PPG Way.” As we look at our supply chain, we are continually assessing all of our critical products and are actively working to assure we have the products available for you.

Like you, we are hopeful that, sooner rather than later, the worst will be behind us and we can begin to collectively focus on a brighter future.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. As this pandemic continues to evolve, we will remain proactive, implement additional actions to support our people and customers, and continue to keep you and all of our stakeholders informed.

We know that we are stronger together, and we will get through this unprecedented time.

Sincerely,


Michael H. McGarry
Chairman and CEO
