INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Specialty Coating Systems acquired Comelec, provider of Parylene, atomic layer deposition and multilayer coating services, for an undisclosed sum.
Located in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Comelec services the European market with Parylene-based coatings and has provided customers with coating services, equipment and raw materials for over 40 years.
Over the coming months, Comelec will be fully integrated into the SCS business and serve as the company’s 21st coating facility, the fifth in Europe.
“SCS was pleased to be approached by Comelec’s owner, Mr. Wilfred Zutter, last year as he sought a partner whom he could trust to not only help his customers and employees thrive into the future, but one that would also provide further investment to facilitate long-term growth in the region,” said Tim Bender, SCS president and CEO. “Comelec has a rich history in the European market and prides itself on providing high-quality products and services to their customers. We are pleased to add the Comelec operation to the SCS family. The longevity and experience of their employees and the company’s focus on new innovative coating technologies, including ALD and multilayer coatings, is an exceptional fit within SCS’ business.”
