A Dip in the Coatings Pool for Durability

摘要

For some 20 years, Sunshine U-LOK owner Doug Devine had been searching for a coater that could handle the kind of volume and quality required to service cities and colleges with his company's 5-ft-long, dip-coated bicycle racks. It wasn't until the summer of 2011 when Devine s son, Sunshine U-LOK manager Christian, discovered a company called Molded Devices that promised to solve their problem. "I told Molded Devices that we were looking for additional capability to build larger inventories," says Devine, whose company is located in Westlake Village, Calif. "They immediately expressed an interest, even though, at the time, it meant investing in constructing tanks and ovens large enough to do the work."
