Greenkote expands European licensee network
Greenkote Plc, Cleveland, OH, has
expanded its licensee network in Europe
with sales of licenses and coating systems to Impreglon AG of Luneburg,
Germany. To supplement its own range
of coatings, Impreglon AG acquired the
license and production rights for an additional environmentally friendly coating
process from Greenkote Plc, UK.
“The Impreglon agreement will allow
us to focus on the development of growth
through our license business model in
Europe,” said Arie Laor, CEO, Greenkote.
He also indicated that Impreglon’s additional coating technologies and plants
promotes an overall and stronger presence in Europe, which increases the
reach of its technology to additional
applications that are complimentary to
those provided for Daimler, VW and
Audi, and creates a strong driver for
other coaters competing with Impreglon
to adopt its technology.
Free of any emissions into the environment, Greenkote’s zinc thermo diffusion
process (ZTD) protects metal surfaces
against corrosion attack.
Greenkote’s location in Sauerlach,
Germany has provided coating services
to the automotive OEM and Tier 1 metal
component supply base for VW, Audi, GM
and Daimler AG, in addition to other
industries.
Through the license agreement
Greenkote will transfer the process coating systems and certain patented technologies to Impreglon Ungarn Hft. in
Hungary, Turkey. Impreglon will continue to serve Greenkote customers from
this location while also expanding sales
for coating services in designated territories in Germany, which include
Schleswig-Holstein, Bremen and Lower
Saxony.
