JR Custom Metal Products Testimonial

Jorge Martinez is the Vice President/Sales at JR Custom Metal Products, Inc. JR Custom produces many different parts and assemblies, made from different metal substrates for a variety of manufacturers.

In 2017, IntelliFinishing installed a complete powder coating system in a 24,000 sq. ft. facility. IntelliFinishing systems provide the flexibility for the unknown, including future parts and processes, and in 2020 JR Custom added a new prime coat booth to their existing finishing system. Unlike traditional powder coating systems that use overhead monorail conveyors, adding the additional booth did not result in the addition of any conveyor (or chain, because IntelliFinishing doesn’t use a chain) and minimal downtime.

Powder coating systems that use overhead monorail conveyors are best suited for one size of part with no variations in processes. Since JR Custom Metal Products produces a variety of parts, they determined other solutions that used chain conveyors would not be a good fit, even though they were less costly.

By bringing power coating in-house, JR Custom was able to eliminate over $1.0M in outsourcing costs yearly. You can read more about their story here.
