Coating Business Joins Metal Improvement Group

E/M Coating Services has been acquired by the Metal Improvement Company (MIC). The state-of-the-art facility in Evesham will work closely with MIC's five other facilities in the UK to provide a full range of metal surface treatment technologies for protection of critical metal components against fatigue, fretting, corrosion and wear.

E/M Coating Services manufactures and applies a broad range of solid film lubricant (SFL) coatings that provide lubrication, corrosion resistance and enhanced operating performance for metal components. The coatings, offered under the trade names of Everlube, Ever-Slik, Lube-Lok, LubriBond, Flurene and Perma-Slik, are applied to steel, titanium and aluminum substrates. The 32,000-square-foot facility applies coatings for the automotive, oil exploration, aerospace and specialty industrial markets. The facility employs 53 people and is ISO9001 certified.

SFL coatings are effective in a broad range of applications whenever conventional wet lubricants provide insufficient protection due to high temperatures, extreme loads, corrosion, wear, chemical corrosion and other adverse operating conditions.

MIC provides precision metal finishing services that include shot and laser peening, peen forming, heat treating and coating services. The company operates over 55 facilities in North America and Europe.
