Axalta Coating Systems (formerly DuPont Performance Coatings) is a global supplier of coatings to the transportation and industrial sectors. The company posted sales of $4.3 billion for 2013.
Axalta moved its Corporate and North America headquarters to Pennsylvania and opened new regional headquarters for Asia Pacific in Shanghai. The company globally launched Cromax as the name of one of Axalta’s leading refinish brand families that includes products such as Cromax Pro, Chroma Premier, ChromaBase and Centari. Along with a bold new logo that visually conveys the spirit of the brand, the launch of Cromax is part of Axalta’s on-going commitment to its customers to be built for performance.
This year Axalta also introduced f Nap-Gard 7-2555, which can withstand continuous operating temperatures of 155°C (311°F). Nap-Gard High Tg 7-2555 is a thermosetting epoxy powder designed for use as a corrosion barrier coating for underground and sub-sea pipelines that operate in high temperature service.
The company also launched Cromax Mosaic in the U.S. and Canada, a new fully featured solvent basecoat for collision repair to help provide outstanding coverage, color match and blendability. Cromax Mosaic was designed to provide an excellent alternative to waterborne coatings and meet applicable regulations for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in most U.S. jurisdictions and Canada.
The year 2013 was a year of milestones for Axalta.
In February, Axalta became an independent company and took on a new name and new visual identity. In May, Axalta announced a $50 million investment to boost production of waterborne coatings in China. Its new pilot reactor began operations in its global R&D center in the U.S. Axalta introduced Cromax as the name one of Axalta’s leading refinish brand families, opened new global offices and before the year was over introduced the next generation high temperature tolerant Nap-Gard FBE powder coating for deep sea oil and gas pipelines. Axalta strengthened and refocused its management team to serve its customers by appointing new global presidents for its OEM and Industrial businesses to reflect and provide enhanced service for the organizations that many of its global customers have established to run their businesses.
