What Precision Coating Technology & Manufacturing does

Precision Coating Technology & Manufacturing Inc. (PCTM) is a family-owned industrial coating services provider headquartered in Denver, Pennsylvania, founded in 1988 by Tim Kissling. The company applies powder and specialty coatings to metal parts on a contract-services basis, serving industrial manufacturers and OEMs across 15+ verticals including aerospace, agriculture, architectural, food processing, medical, military/defense, marine, hydraulics, construction and telecommunications, fitness, retail, and transportation. Services are quoted project-by-project, with the company accepting single-piece custom jobs as well as production runs of thousands of parts, and pickup/delivery offered within a 50-mile radius of the Denver facility.

PCTM's technical platform spans multiple coating chemistries and application methods: fluid bed dipping (achieving film thicknesses of .010 to .030 inch), electrostatic spray coating, PTFE/Xylan fluoropolymer coatings (rated to 600°F), plastisol (PVC) dip coating (1/8" to 1/4" thickness), polyester and epoxy powder coatings, antimicrobial coatings, nylon coatings, and corrosion-resistant systems. The manufacturing footprint is anchored by a 48,000 sq ft facility (purchased and renovated in 2008) housing a 440-ft automated conveyor line with a five-stage pre-treatment system (scale removal, iron phosphate conversion coating, sealant application), a dual-operator spray booth, an 80-ft dry-off oven, and an 85-ft cure oven combining convection and infrared heat zones. FDA-compliant formulations support medical and food-contact applications.

The business model is a bootstrapped, project-based B2B services operation with no external institutional funding. Revenue is generated per project via quote requests initiated through the company website or phone. The company expanded into dry-film lubricants through the 2014 acquisition of Coating Technology Inc., and added automated high-volume capacity in 2012 by purchasing a five-stage pretreatment conveyor line from J&M Custom Powder Coating. Family leadership — Tim Kissling as CEO, Christopher Kissling as President, Patricia Kissling as Office Manager, and Marjorie Kissling as bookkeeper — provides operational continuity, and the firm reports no current geographic expansion beyond the Mid-Atlantic, Southern New England, and Midwest regions served.
