‘SATELLITE™’ – POWDERTECH’S UNIQUE LUSTROUS FINISH WITH AN IRIDESCENT GLEAM

‘Satellite’ is the latest range of unique finishes from innovative powder coater Powdertech (Corby) Ltd and is made exclusively for the company to its own visual and technical requirements.

Satellite finishes have a distinctive iridescent gleam with layered metallic and pearlescent effects and a depth of colour unrivalled in a one-coat application. The name ‘Satellite’ occurred to Powdertech as soon as the team saw the initial samples. The mid-sheen finish with vibrant flashes of light set in a rich colour is intense, “Like a million satellites in the sky,” said Richard Besant, Powdertech Director. The individual names are taken from the hundreds of manmade satellites that orbit the Earth.

Achieving colours with depth and lustre was the key objective. “Many of our customers want the gleaming metallic look that anodising provides, but without the frustrations they experience with anodic coatings, “explained Richard Besant. “We set out to develop a finish that celebrates the beauty of metal with a layered iridescent effect. The result was Satellite” Amron Architectural, the metal mesh specialist, is particularly pleased with the effect that Satellite finishes have on its profiled sheet and metal mesh where the undulating surface is enhanced as light bounces off the glittering finish.

Satellite finishes conform to BS EN 12206-1 standards and Qualicoat specifications. With excellent durability and colour stability they are suitable for internal and external applications.

In November 2022 Powdertech will be expanding the range to offer rich shades that include red, orange and dark gold.

ACQUISITION OF WIDNES GALVANISING LTD

Joseph Ash Limited is delighted to announce the acquisition of Widnes Galvanising Ltd.

Founded over 20 years ago, Widnes Galvanising has been an independent hot dip galvanizer in the northwest. It is the perfect match for Joseph Ash Ltd. Not only do the companies share similar values – including a mission to provide the very best customer service – but Joseph Ash is now able to broaden its geographic coverage into Cheshire to service customers in Lancashire, Cheshire, Merseyside and beyond.

The acquisition is also good news for Widnes Galvanising customers, who will benefit from the additional services Joseph Ash Ltd provides. For example, extra transport and storage, spin galvanizing, and powder coating.

Existing Widnes Galvanising employees will also benefit as they will be able to capitalise on the opportunities that being part of a larger group brings, such as career progression, training, and learning new skills.

Stuart Whitehouse, Managing Director of Joseph Ash Ltd, said: “Widnes Galvanising is a welcome addition to our Joseph Ash family, and we are thrilled to have them onboard. The acquisition has been smooth, ensuring a seamless transition for the future. While initially trading as a subsidiary company, Widnes will share and exchange technology and expertise with our eight other plants.”

Whitehouse continues, “The acquisition is a wonderful opportunity for all parties involved: the existing Joseph Ash team, our new colleagues from Widnes, our suppliers and customers.”

Further announcements about the acquisition will be made in due course.
