The Beckers Group is a leading worldwide supplier of industrial coatings and the global market leader in coil coatings. Beckers is focused on developing sustainable coatings – its vision is to become the most sustainable industrial coatings company in the world. The organization is global, ensuring fast service to customers from 23 locations in 18 countries with approximately 1,740 employees worldwide.
Beckers Group is building a new Sustainable Innovation Center in the UK to help to unlock the potential of more sustainable coil coating technologies such as ultraviolet/electron beam (UVEB) curing.
The two-story 300 square meter innovation center will double the capacity of Beckers’ Long Term Development (LTD) R&D team that is working to develop future coil coating capabilities. The new SEK 20.5 million building next door to Beckers’ existing LTD facility in Liverpool will break ground in March 2023 and should be complete at the end of the year.
The aim is for the center to become a flagship for sustainable innovation to drive sustainable coil coating R&D. The innovation center is designed to develop both application technologies and coating formulations that are more sustainable.
The innovation center will also be a living showcase for the latest in more sustainable coating solutions. The walls and roof of the building will use a cladding system that utilizes a partially bio-resin coating developed by Beckers for improved material sustainability. The coating applied to the roof will also use Beckry®Therm technology to improve thermal control in the building to reduce the energy required for air conditioning and increase the service life of the cladding system.
The coatings used for the building will also be sourced and manufactured as sustainably as possible.
One more sustainable coil coating technology that the center will specialize in from the beginning is UV/EB curing. Beckers Group has adapted the use of UV/EB curing technology for the coil coating industry and developed the necessary paint formulations since 2005.
