New coil coating innovation center
Beckers Group recently opened a new facility, called FutureLab, in Liverpool, UK. This state-of-the-art facility aims to develop next generation of sustainable coil coatings.
The new building effectively doubles the capacity of the company`s long-term development department, enhancing Beckers ability to make more sustainable coatings. The new Lab features several new pieces of equipment that will be used for future developments, such as the enhancement of UV/EB coatings.
Sustainable Coail Coatings
Cutting-edge sustainability features have been incorporated into its design and build, including Beckers’ own thermal-control coating on the roof that reduces the amount of energy needed to heat the building, an active carbon filtration system on a VOC exhaust chimney and heat pumps to reduce CO2 emissions related to heating. Furthermore, a customized experience room is ready to welcome all customers and partners who are keen on collaborating with Beckers on future developments.
The center aims to act as a hub for creativity, collaboration, and cutting-edge research, while contributing to society by promoting education and local job opportunities. “FutureLab represents a significant leap forward in our commitment to innovation and sustainability,” said Gavin Bown, CTO. “This state-of-the-art facility embodies our dedication to pioneering new technologies and sustainable practices that will lead the coatings industry into a brighter, more responsible future.”
