Mexico.
Axalta Coating Systems inaugurated production at its expanded resin manufacturing facility located on its Tlalnepantla campus, outside of Mexico City.
The investment to expand the infrastructure will allow the company to support its customers with the latest coating technologies that are used in a wide variety of the company's liquid coatings.
The additional polymer resins that can now be produced in Mexico are the basis of the traditional solvent and the latest generation of water-based coatings. As a key ingredient of all coating layers, resins provide the chemical structure that helps make Axalta coatings durable and able to withstand the effects of time and ultraviolet radiation.
Mexico is home to some of the world's leading light commercial vehicle OEMs that rely on the company's technologies, including primer and 3-wet coatings that can achieve full-layer performance without the need for flashing and baking between layers. Increasing productivity in a better end result for customers and continuing to produce an unparalleled finish on vehicles.
Axalta coatings are also used by a large number of body shops that repair vehicles using the company's global refinish brands available in Mexico.
