Manufacturing - Coil Coating Lab Technician - First American Resources Company LLC

Company History:
First American Resources was established in 1975 as a specialty coater producing pre-painted aluminum, carbon and stainless steel in widths ranging from 0.50-28" using two-coat, single coat, thin film, and striped coatings for all markets. Our business is “coil coating” which is applying organic coatings onto rolled metal strips. We coat and slit coils of steel and aluminum weighing up to 10,000 lbs. and 28” wide. The coils are continuously cleaned, pre-treated, and painted on the paint line. These materials are subsequently used by customers for everything from architectural panels to appliances to automotive parts. Coil coating is the most precise, efficient, and environmentally friendly method of painting metals. Integrated into our coil coating technology is slitting, spooling, stamping, and lancing, which further solidifies our state-of-the-art niche capability.
