Axalta, a global supplier of liquid and powder coatings, is expanding its Landshut site in Germany, creating a second production facility in the region for bonded metallic powder coatings alongside the Montbrison plant in France.

The second production facility will enable Axalta to better respond to the increasing demand for high-quality metallic powder coatings, which are used specifically in architectural and design applications.

The new equipment will create greater efficiency and have the ability to produce small batches at short notice as needed.

Axalta’s bonded powder coatings have a high UV stability and are very durable. The coated surfaces are characterised by high brilliance, optical depth and a wide variety of amazing colour effects. These veneers are used in the coating of façade elements, profiles and aluminium and steel cladding as well as coating for windows, doors and indoor and outdoor furniture.
