Lower investment costs

Our pilot facilities offer very flexible assets for development work and open up possibilities with a wide array of coating technologies.

Convenience

Pilot coating enables customers to conduct small-scale production runs with the ability to quickly test and implement changes—without the drawback of having to stop production.

Faster time to market

Using the same resources to execute development and scale-up enables Tollcoating to deliver world class development-to-production cycle times.
