New Color, where revamping and digitalising a line made technology more universally accessible

Adopting an innovative approach to business development, powder coating contractor New Colour recently completed a full overhaul of its line. The project involved collaboration with Avin, which, in addition to acting as the prime contractor and coordinating the work, reviewed the plant layout, revamped the curing oven, and fully re-certified the plant; Futura, which replaced the existing monorail conveyor with a power & free system complete with two loading and unloading elevators; and Gema, which installed a new, state-of-the-art powder coating booth alongside the existing one. The resulting plant’s high level of technological sophistication now ensures precision, full traceability, and optimised cycle times.
