Precoat Metals’ production expansion will meet rising demand for coated aluminium coils slit to custom widths. Furthermore, it will supplement the company’s current capabilities for customised steel, aluminium, and galvanised metal coils. These are used in containers, buildings, housing, automobiles, product storage, appliances, HVAC, and other applications. Precoat, located at 901 Waterman Drive in Washington, is the first tenant to open in the new 115-acre Oldenburg Industrial Park. When manufacturing begins in 2025, the factory will employ roughly 88 people.
