International. Stahl, based in the Netherlands, announced that it has taken the next step to further expand its activities at Powder Coatings. Stahl is a provider of coating and surface treatment solutions for flexible materials.
In 2015, Stahl began with the development of Powder Coatings. Stahl will now take over OEM NuTech's R&D facilities and begin developing products closer to major European markets at its Spanish facility l'Hospitalet. This step reinforces Stahl's position as a technology company for UV powder coatings and ULB for heat-sensitive substrates, accelerating its speed to market.
Stahl and OEM NuTech have worked intensively together in a joint venture since July 2015. During this cooperation, they have created a unique system for the development of high-quality and environmentally friendly powder coatings.
All of OEM NuTech's R&D facilities, currently located in Perth, Australia, will be transferred to Stahl's site in l'Hospitalet de Llobregat in Spain, where Stahl will open a new Center of Excellence for Powder Coatings. With the new facility, which is expected to open in the summer of 2018, Stahl has eight Centers of Excellence around the world where its experts work side-by-side with partners to develop and test new applications for specific areas and industries.
