Matthews Industries offers fabricating, welding, coating, and assembly services in the manufacture of compressed air systems, food service equipment, HVAC/refrigeration components, cabinets and electrical enclosures, industrial valves, and consumer products. Company leadership realized efficiencies in its finishing line and eliminated bottlenecks by installing automated powder coating application and an electric infrared preheating system, thereby doubling line speed and output.

Gone are the days of the large monolithic powder coatings systems that snaked around a shop floor and the need to have multiple booths for color changes. Technology advances now make more compact, one-booth systems capable of quick and easy color changes a reality.
