Words: Dan KamysUpgrades Improves Processes at EDCO
EDCO has upgraded its manufacturing process by incorporating both a Powder Coating system and Laser Fabricator. Switching from liquid paint to powder coating eliminates flaking, scratches and other common problems associated with traditional painting.

EDCO adds that laser fabrication helped the company significantly reduce manufacturing times - resulting in short order lead times and constant stocks of core products. Laser technology replaces outdated fabrication methods and assures correct part dimensions.
