Sunday, October 25, 2009 — NuFinish Sandblasting and Powdercoating in Norwood has announced plans to expand its operations and add an additional 15 jobs. The company will expand its operations to include a process known as “E-Coating,” which gives the finished product a wet-paint look even though it is dry. The process is applied primarily to metal-forged products but can be used on several different surfaces.
The company will invest approximately $300,000 in new equipment and an additional $750,000 in the acquisition and renovation of the former Supreme Knits building on U.S. 52 South in Norwood.
“This represents an opportunity for us to expand our current services to our existing client base and potential to gain new clients,” said Steve Bradley of NuFinish.
“We are already getting calls from companies interested in this process and we haven’t even gotten the equipment yet.”
Stanly County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved a local economic development grant to the company not to exceed $10,000 over a five-year period.
Additionally, NuFinish is applying for a Building Re-Use and Redevelopment Grant administered through the North Carolina Rural Center.
NuFinish plans to begin operations by the end of the calendar year. It will also keep its current operations and facility on South Stanly School Road for the sandblasting and powder-coating applications.
