Axalta Coating Systems celebrated the opening of its first Powder Coatings Development and Learning Center on October 28, 2016.
Located adjacent to the powder manufacturing headquarters in Houston, Texas, the facility serves both Axalta customers and those interested in learning more about powder coatings or advancing their application skills. Classes are available in English and Spanish.
The company is confident that the Learning and Development Center will attract thousands of powder coating professionals to the Houston area for one-day and multi-day classes taught by industry experts.
Classes are designed to give students a hands-on experience with the latest application techniques using advanced powder coating technology, including a Nordson Colormax II paint booth, a Gema batch booth, and a 512 cubic foot gas furnace for curing. The center also features classrooms equipped with innovative seating to encourage and support collaboration and relationship building.
