"Fusecote Co. Inc.
Positioned for Asia-Pacific Growth..."
Fusecote Co. Inc. has built plants in Australia, Korea, and
Thailand. "One of the bright spots in the world market has been the Asia-Pacific region which has
dramatically outperformed the global market in terms of both volume and value growth. From 2004 to
2009, the Asia-Pacific coatings segment grew by 60 percent in volume and value. Due to it's rapid
growth over the past five years, the Asia-Pacific region has become the largest market for
paint and coatings in the world."
"In the industrial coatings market, and among the various
industrial sub-segments, Asia-Pacific has outperformed the market and has experienced significantly
higher growth rates than those seen in North America and Western Europe."
Fusecote Co. Inc's expansion into Asia now includes business in
Thailand where Vice President Mark Sonnen in the Bangkok office cites forecasts by Coatings World
(August 2011) that "Over the next five years the
Asia-Pacific market is projected to continue to grow above the global average."
"As environmental awareness and the need for economy has
increased, technologies have matured to keep pace. Water and waste water systems are older and
operating at higher capacities now. At the same time, tight budgets afford fewer qualified
personnel, and maintenance can be expensive."
Southern California Edison have availed themselves of Fusecote's
powder coating services to rehabilitate aging evacuation water pumps, some of which are a century
old! Jim Olavte of SCE, (714 895 0115) anticipates
high cost savings using Fusecote's rehabilitation epoxy coating, as compared with the cost of new
replacement pumps.
AKZO Nobel, the worlds largest coatings manufacturer with sales of
$13 billion for 2011 (ref: Coatings World 7/1/2011,) has agreed to manufacture a new
powder, (Southern California Edison) Blue for Fusecote Co. Inc. of South El Monte, California.
Fusecote Co. Inc's contract with SCE entails application of AKZO Nobels epoxy to rehabilitate pumps
at water lift.
"Powder-coated
microcoupe goes over big in Europe, even bigger in powder
coating industry..."
Fusecote Co. Inc's powder coating of auto bodies has been adopted by the European
car manufacturer Micro Compact Car (MCC) initiating a trend which will be lowering the VOC
