U.S. - The Schattdecor Group announce that it has finalized the purchase of US Coating Company of Lexington, SC, a provider of decorative surfaces.

This purchase will create a synergy between the two companies, supplying the furniture, kitchen cabinet, and a variety of other industries with more options and products from one source.

The Schattdecor Group purchased 100% of the shares of US Coating and has completed ownership of the company. However the corporate structure of US Coating will remain the same and will operate independently of Schattdecor Inc., Maryland Heights, MO. The current CEO, Mike Moore, will continue with the company to manage operations.

US Coating Company, founded in 1994, is located in central South Carolina and provides decorative surfaces in manufacturing eco-friendly solid color Electron Beam (EB) cured coatings on various paper substrates. This includes a wide variety of finish foils in many solid colors and different finishes. As the company joins the Schattdecor Group, they will, in the near future, start to produce a wider range of products that Schattdecor has already pioneered in many other markets.

Through this acquisition Schattdecor will increase its production and sales of finish foils in North America. To date Schattdecor’s USA finish foil supply came from the group’s production facilities in Poland and Italy. Now with US Coating the Schattdecor Group will be able to serve customers with finish foil products domestically produced.

For more than 30 years Schattdecor has been supplying printed decor paper, finish foil and melamine film globally to the wood based panel and furniture industries. In 2018 the family owned company, headquartered in Thansau, Germany, processed around 3 billion square meters of paper in the areas of printing, impregnation and lacquering.
