Sheboygan Plant gets a new Plant Manager – David Halle

Welcome David Halle!

David Halle started with us as the Plant Manager for the Sheboygan plant.  He lives in the Sheboygan area and his wife is a paramedic for the Manitowoc fire department.  David was working at Pace Industries in Grafton before joining our team.  Over the last six months, David has gotten a quick education on powder coating in addition to working the bugs out of the new 5-stage washer that was installed in Sheboygan last August.  David has assembled a good stable crew on the floor and is trying to get things staffed so that the Sheboygan plant can run more than one shift in the future.  We all wish David the best of luck in his new position!!

Classic Coatings Announces New Partners!

Classic Coatings Announces New Partners!

Classic Coatings is starting 2016 on a little different note this year. For the past 15 years, Laura and I have owned 100% of Classic Coatings. As of January 1, 2016, we sold a percentage of Classic Coatings to James Braun and Brett Markowski. These individuals have worked hard for many years and contributed greatly to make Classic Coatings what it is today. I am grateful to have them as business partners. These changes will not affect the day-to-day operations of the company. Our new partners will be integral in keeping operations at Classic Coatings running smoothly as we continue to grow.

Valders Mini-Chopper

Valders Mini-Chopper

The Valders High School Mini-Chopper Team expressed gratitude to Classic Coatings for the in-kind donation, time and support provided to them for their high school project. In a letter from the 10-person student team, it says, “Completing the mini-chopper project would not have been possible without you. Through this program, we have bonded closer as a team and learned many new and prevalent skills. We had some issues from time to time throughout the school year as any group would, but we worked through it and gained better communication skills in the process.” They added, “It was messy and time consuming but it was also pretty fun. There were lots of pictures taken and everyone was able to share a good laugh now and then. Thanks again for your support!”
