Lankem & Axalta Expand Industrial Coating Partnership in Sri Lanka 📈

Lankem Ceylon PLC, the authorized partner for global leader Axalta Coating Systems, has announced a strategic expansion of their collaboration to introduce advanced industrial coating technologies to the local market. • Sector Focus: The partnership will provide high-performance liquid, marine, and powder coating solutions for critical sectors including infrastructure, energy, agriculture, heavy equipment, rail, and steel structures. • Innovation: A key feature includes coatings that can be applied directly onto adherent rust. This stabilizes corrosion without extensive blast cleaning, significantly reducing downtime for industrial facilities. • Economic Context: Designed for Sri Lanka’s high-humidity and coastal environments, these technologies aim to extend asset lifecycles and reduce maintenance costs for infrastructure owners. • Partnership Strength: This follows the successful launch of automotive refinish products. Axalta brings 150 years of expertise to support Lankem’s goal of cost-effective, sustainable development in the ICT/BPM and industrial landscapes.
