Trojan Powder Coating Opens Third Location
Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2015
Trojan Powder Coating introduces their third outpost, Trojan Architectural Coaters Inc., recently opened in Pompano Beach, Fla.
The original business, which launched in Bay Shore, N.Y., 25 years ago, has gradually expanded in recent years, first to Sarasota, Fla., and now to Pompano Beach, Fla., where Trojan’s newest facility brings with it an entirely different set of capabilities.
At Trojan Architectural Coaters, the paint line is well-established, applying 2603, 2604 and 2605 paints for the last 25 years, and receiving PPG certification for the last 20 years. The facility’s 50,000 square feet can accommodate large projects, material storage and easy unloading procedures. As well, Trojan’s pretreatment process—using a chromium phosphate immersion—is considered the most optimal for ocean front applications, ensuring a 20-year warranty for these projects.
“We’re thrilled to have a strong presence in the southeast and introduce our services to clients here,” says Carl Troiano, owner. “Facility manager Steve Metzger has over 30 years of industry experience, and it’s exciting to bring this level of expertise and service to Pompano Beach and its neighbors.”
This rapid growth in the southeast is a strategic plan that Carl conceived after noticing a need among the region’s architects, designers and contractors who prefer to work with liquid kynar finishes and treated aluminum, materials that withstand the salt, storms, strong heat and winds that constantly barrage the coastline.
Now under the Trojan Brand name, at three locations, Trojan is able to offer powder and various batch and automated lines, liquid Kynar, and water-based vinyl paint. An added and significant benefit is that coated aluminum can be designed to replicate nearly any facade, from woodgrain and marble to highly-customized colors, giving aluminum projects an attractive aesthetic along with added sustainability.
The Pompano Beach opening is one of several recent brand developments, including receiving the first Qualicoat license in the United States and being named one of AAMA’s distinguished members of 2014.
