JOST International has announced that powdercoating and fabrication services are now available from its TS6949/ISO14001/ISO9001 certified Greeneville TN facility to other manufacturers in the commercial vehicle, agricultural, forestry, and construction industries. As a Tier 1 supplier, JOST processes meet quality standards required by original equipment manufacturers, and their capabilities can lower cost and offer competitive advantage.
The Greeneville plant is an advanced pre-treatment powdercoating facility with its process passing the GMW 14872 cyclic corrosion test standard. Each part is powdercoated in conjunction with an advanced 10-stage (including pickle and zinc phosphate) pretreatment process that offers optimum surface sealing and corrosion protection. Powdercoating can be completed in either small- or industrial-scale batch sizes. It is ideal for manufacturers of mass-produced cast and sheet metal components; due to descaling capabilities, it's excellent for laser-processed parts. JOST's fabrication process uses both manual and robotic welding with laser and plasma cutting up to 0.5" with powdercoating and assembly finishing.
Fabrication and powdercoating capabilities at the JOST facility can process parts that weigh between one and six hundred pounds and in sizes up to 6' × 4' × 2' with a layer thickness between 2.4 and 3.5 mil. For more information, e-mail [email protected].
