Together they will provide extensive and complementary fluoropolymer (Teflon/PTFE) application services to the medical device and highly engineered components markets. Having developed proven coating processes for thousands of unique parts for over 50 years, each company has earned the trust of customers by providing expertise and exceptional service. Combining the companies creates a platform to deliver quality, service, and coating application capabilities that exceed any vendor in the fluoropolymer coating space, with the strength to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of the global medical device market.
The company will be headquartered in Hudson, MA, and customer contacts will remain the same. The combined capabilities will deliver a range of benefits and enhancements to a broad customer base with emphasis on customer service, superior product quality, and engineering services to support customers with their device design, control, and manufacturing. Further development of their leading automation capabilities will extend benefits across the application spectrum. For the present time, the companies will continue to operate under their respective trade names.
Bob DeAngelis, President of PCCI, explains the benefits of the acquisition, “We will combine and leverage the best practices from each organization to deliver an unmatched level of service and customer focus for current and future customers. Key initiatives include expanded automated coating capacity, enhanced organizational capabilities with an increased focus on engineering and quality, including PTFE formulation, and opening a coating facility in Costa Rica for our international customers.”
