Powercoat Canada Newsletter 11
Issue 11 - December 16, 2021
Well it's that time of year again where we continue the "discussion" with Beau Battin at Scorpion Protective Coatings USA about whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie. This has been an ongoing battle for many years between Scorpion USA and Scorpion Canada (PowerCOAT) and to tell you the truth we aren't really sure which side we are arguing anymore.
But whatever your view on whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie is secondary to the fact that Beau is always wrong no matter what he claims. Right?
All joking aside we here at PowerCOAT Canada would like to wish you and your families a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
PowerCOAT is headed into 2022 with many goals including new product lines, additional products in our existing product lines, equipment rentals, service & support and more team members. On top of that we feel that our showroom, which is almost finished, and our second floor addition should be complete by the end of January and plan on our Official Grand Opening to be in early spring so we hope you can join us in person then.
PowerCOAT will be adding on the PPG Paint line for residential, commercial and industrial painting which will make us even more valuable to you as a partner and supplier. Our plan is to be the go-to place for specialty coatings that cost too much elsewhere or that you can't find anywhere else.
There will be a lot more coming down the pipe in 2022 for PowerCOAT Canada!
We look forward to working with you in 2022 and growing your business, together we can be successful.
The Orange Evolution continues: Husqvarna continues the integration of Blastrac and Diamatic.
Husqvarna Construction announces plans to further consolidate brands in the surface preparation segment. Over the coming years, the recently acquired Blastrac and Diamatic products, services, and solutions will be rebranded as Husqvarna and integrated into the global Husqvarna offering.
The first wave of rebranded Blastrac and Diamatic products will be launched mid-2022 and will further shape and complement the Husqvarna offering for floor grinding, scarifying, and scraping. The second wave targeting spring 2023 will include shot-blasting solutions and associated dust extractors.
In January 2021, Husqvarna completed the acquisition of Blastrac, a leading provider of surface preparation equipment and solutions for the global construction and remediation industry.
“We have now built one strong team with the commitment to deliver the best possible experience to our broad range of customers. With our combined expertise and our wider offering we are ready to serve our customers and shape the surface preparation industry for tomorrow,” says Stijn Verherstraeten, Vice President Concrete Surfaces & Floors, at Husqvarna Construction.
The additional offering will considerably enhance the existing Husqvarna surface preparation portfolio by bringing advanced shot-blasting, scraping and scarifying solutions to Husqvarna customers and partners.
In turn, Blastrac customers and partners will gain access to adjacent products such as compactors, concrete placement equipment, sawing & drilling equipment and demolition robots as well as a wide (digital) service offering.
“We really look forward to giving our customers access to the best and broadest surface preparation range in the industry – paired with what is probably the most competent and passionate team and all of this under one strong brand. We will build on the combined surface preparation portfolio and will further invest in innovation leadership over the years to come to make sure our customers can always count on us to complete their work in the most productive, sustainable and safe manner,” says Stijn Verherstraeten.
