We received a call from Gina after RIE Newsletter 10. Gina had been reading all of the previous RIE newsletters. In the back of her mind knew she had a customer who might be a good fit for the coatings we provided.
One phone call to us seemed to make it all click for Gina. She explained her logisitcal issues from a supplier standpoint and then talked about the issues her customer was having on the manufacturing side of things.
A coating was specified, samples were issued, tests were done and in a matter of a few weeks, full production was underway utilizing RIE Coatings.
Gina was praised by her customer for bringing innovative ideas to a very innovative manufacturing company.
In her words:
"About a year ago, a customer approached me wanting a coating that would outlast the life of their product. After lots of research I found RIE Coatings and Magni 567 Silver. Brian was very helpful with conference calls and with quoting very competitive pricing. When we started sending in product to be coated, Bev and Scott in production were awesome to deal with. They were very personable and attentive to our tight schedule and needs. The whole team has been a blast to work with and I look forward to many years to come! Thanks again - you guys Rock!!!" |
All metals are susceptible to corrosion. The most common and well known cause of corrosion is from exposure to moisture in the air. A lesser known cause is the joining together of two dissimilar metals.
There is a perception that coatings cannot be as good as galvanizing or plating when in fact the opposite is true. Coatings have been used in the auto industry for many, many years and have only in recent history been utilized in other (non-automotive) manufacturing enviroments on a larger scale. The uses for coatings are endless and the benefits have greatly enhanced how fasteners and other parts are used and protected.
