Iowa-based powder coating supplier Diamond Vogel is in the midst of a five-year, $30 million expansion plan that includes growing the manufacturing facility for its Peridium Powder Coatings production plant.
The company broke ground last year on a 91,000-square-foot addition to its Orange City, Iowa powder coating plant that will more than double its current size.
Company officials say the expansion will give them the capability to add 15 production lines on top of the 10 existing lines by mid-2018, and hire an additional 25 employees to staff the lines. For the entire five-year plan, as many as 50 employees will be added to the production facility.
Diamond Vogel has a long history in industrial coatings. They began in Friesland, Holland, where Andrew Vogel worked in his father’s paint shop applying finishes to the homes and carriages of Dutch farmers. In 1913, the Vogel family immigrated to the U.S. where 13 years later the Vogel Paint and Wax Company began.
Overall, the company has seven manufacturing facilities and 70 service facilities, where they sell liquid coatings to architectural market and consumers, too.
The Peridium Powder coating technologies include TGIC polyester, hybrid, urethane and epoxy.
