The Crown Group presently operates several plants which are
co-located with one of our customers. The concept and strategy of
co-located facilities provides Tier One suppliers with paint systems that are designed and engineered for a specific product. Having
co-located paint systems, whether they are next door to our customers, or inside a customer’s plant, provides the customer with technical expertise (painting technology) they otherwise would not have. It completely removes the “headache” of painting and finishing from the customer, allowing them to concentrate on their core manufacturing business.
The Crown Group strategically participates in
co-located plants with Tier One customers with a high volume of coating requirements. Up front design and system engineering ultimately result in many benefits for our customers. Among these benefits are:
|
 |
Customers avoid large capital expense for a paint system. Capital monies can be invested in core manufacturing processes. Crown will design, build, finance and manage the coating system.
|
|
Customers can concentrate on core manufacturing competencies, not having to worry about painting and finishing.
|
|
Inventory (WIP) cost reductions by having an “in-house” or “dedicated” system.
|
|
Freight, logistics, and warehouse savings.
|
|
Improvements in inventory management and accuracy.
|
|
Improvements in delivery and overall customer satisfaction efforts.
|
|
Improvements in Tier One price competitiveness by reducing coating, inventory, and shipping costs.
|
|
Greatly improved product quality for Class “A”, suspension, under hood or chassis components.
|
|
Post paint assembly operations can be easily performed, thus avoiding additional shipping and logistics costs.
|
|
The Crown Group also has a
dedicated sales team that will work to fill open
capacity in these co-located facilities.
