Sales were up about 9% in 2014 at New Jersey-based Precision Custom Coatings (PCC) due largely to considerable growth in the automotives market. Other key technical markets include filtration and bedding, while apparel, although not growing, continues to represent about 40% of sales.
“In technical markets like automotives, we are not only growing our volumes but we are also expanding the depth of the products areas we get into,” explains president and CEO Scott Tesser.
This expansion comes on the heels of of the addition of a dual carding line at PCC’s Totowa, NJ headquarters. This new line, which was added in the third quarter of 2014, has given the company more flexibility, allowing it to lay down two separate layers of fibers.
In addition to upping PCC’s profile in automotives with the addition of some acoustical products, the new line has allowed the company to expand into higher MERV-rated products within its filtration business, a market it entered only five years ago. “We have really gotten more sophisticated with the products that we can offer,” Tesser says.
Prior to the dual carded line, PCC added a new airlaid line capable of making high loft bedding applications in late 2012. The new line, PCC’s first foray into this technology, replaced an old needlepunch line that was no longer needed after line upgrades allowed the company to run existing lines more efficiently, according to the company.
Bedding is PCC’s third industrial business and also its most profitable due to flame retardant regulations that exist in the mattress industry.
Meanwhile, in Asia, where 100% of its apparel sales are made, Tesser says the company has begun looking to grow its filtration and automotives business.
