MSI Expands Finishing Services with Automated Powder Coating


At Manufacturing Solutions Inc. (MSI), we’re always investing in new technology to strengthen our capabilities and deliver more value to our customers. Our latest step forward is the installation of a Gema SMART Series Automatic Powder Coating Booth, which will significantly enhance our automated powder coating services, and is scheduled to be fully operational by December 2025. By leveraging these advanced technologies, MSI continues to lead in providing automated powder coating services that exceed industry standards.

This upgrade represents a major leap in our finishing services—bringing greater efficiency, consistency, and scalability to our powder coating operations.

GEMA SMART Series Automatic Booths

A Dual Approach: Automated Precision + Manual Flexibility

MSI has long offered manual powder coating services for small-batch and specialty jobs, ensuring hands-on precision for complex projects. With the addition of the automated booth, we’ll introduce automated application technology capable of delivering:

  • Highly consistent coating thickness
  • Superior repeatability for large production runs
  • Scalable capacity to handle greater volume

To maintain flexibility, MSI will continue using manual application equipment in line with the automated system, which allows for quick color changes when needed. While manual application may not always achieve the same precise thickness control as automation, it gives customers greater versatility for multi-color projects or specialty runs, complementing our automated powder coating services beautifully.

A Cleaner, More Sustainable Finishing Process

We’re also proud to introduce a new cleaning and surface-treating chemistry that is:

  • Completely reclaimable – Nothing discharged into the environment
  • Solvent-free – Powder coating technology eliminates hazardous VOC emissions
  • Environmentally responsible – A greener solution without sacrificing performance

This investment demonstrates MSI’s commitment not only to quality and performance, but also to sustainable manufacturing practices that protect our employees, customers, and community.

What This Means for Our Customers

With these advancements, MSI customers will benefit from:

  • More Consistency: Automated precision coating for repeatable results
  • More Flexibility: Manual quick-change capability for custom or multi-color projects
  • More Bandwidth: Expanded finishing capacity for high-volume production
  • More Sustainability: Environmentally friendly finishing that meets modern standards

The Future of Powder Coating at MSI

By the end of 2025, MSI’s automated powder coating services will be stronger than ever—ready to support industries that demand durable, reliable, and scalable finishing solutions including aerospace, defense, energy, industrial equipment, and OEM partnerships.
