MetoKote opens facility in North Carolina

Lima, Ohio-based MetoKote Corp., an applicator of protective coatings, has opened its newest facility in Mebane, N.C.

MetoKote was approached by GKN Driveline in Roxboro, N.C., in October 2012 to collaborate with GKN on the coating of its steel drive shafts. MetoKote has coated parts for GKN for several years in a few of its regional coating service centers around the U.S. GKN has an additional facility in Mebane and wanted a coater that could locate near both locations. In less than 10 months from contract signing, equipment was built, installed, and operating.

The facility currently employs more than 30 people, with expected growth up to 50 employees when at full capacity.
