Since September 2010, All-Color Powder Coating has been part of an elite group of custom powder coaters who have obtained the PCI 3000 certification through the Powder Coating Institute (PCI). PCI's certification program evaluates the company's business practices, process elements, equipment capabilities, employee competencies and quality control capabilities to ensure a high level of customer service and satisfaction. The ultimate goal of PCI is to improve and enhance the powder coating process within the powder coating industry.
Experienced PCI auditors conducted an on-site audit of All-Color Powder Coating's facility and processes using a point based system. All-Color Powder Coating received a score of 1048 out of a possible 1116 during its initial audit, qualifying them for immediate certification. A score of at least 725 was required for certification. All-Color Powder Coating is the first custom coater to obtain PCI 3000-H certification for its medium density fiberboard (MDF) and low cure substrate processes.
"The combination of our new quality assurance (QA) lab, our state-of-the-art equipment and high training and safety standards, made completing the audit the final step affirming that All-Color Powder Coating produces an excellent powder coated product with a high degree of customer satisfaction," stated Larry Rybowiak, Quality Assurance Specialist for All-Color Powder Coating.
"PCI certification is a significant achievement as it establishes high quality standards and a high level of customer satisfaction for companies within our industry. Passing this audit differentiates us from our competitors," states Mark Mortensen, President of All-Color Powder Coating. "We take a lot of pride in being one of the few companies to have received PCI 3000 certification which is a confirmation of our ability to provide our customers with a high quality powder coated product and ensuring a high level of customer satisfaction."
