Optiglass Coating Division Purchased

Plaskolite, Inc. announced that it has purchased the coating division of Optiglass PC LLC of Cincinnati, Ohio. “Purchasing Optiglass is all about our commitment to the coating market,” stated James Dunn, Plaskolite President.

“We have become, and will continue to be, the leading supplier of quality coating products in the market.” With this purchase, Plaskolite has sent a clear message to the market place about its commitment to the coatings market. “Our goal in coating has been simple – to be the leader in the industry – and we’ve been very busy achieving that goal,” stated Dunn. In addition to the strategic purchase of coating manufacturing businesses, the commitment can be seen in the coating plant expansion at its Columbus, Ohio facility. Plaskolite has made significant investments in state-of-the-art coating manufacturing equipment.

One of the driving forces in Plaskolite’s Optiglass acquisition has been to offer its customers “more products,” said Mitchell Grindley, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Plaskolite. “When we can give customers more of what they want at competitive prices, then we are truly serving them – and that’s what market leadership is about. We’ve built our acrylic sheet, mirror and coating business by providing customers with unparalleled service and product diversity. That’s how we carved out a significant niche in a very competitive market,” stated Grindley. “With our coating line, it’s nice to have the edge in that product offering too.”
