Exterior Painting Project at Daifuku's Carlisle, SC Facility
by CertaPro Painters® of Salisbury/Concord/Gastonia, NC
Refurbishing a Forging Plant
Daifuku is a Japanese company that provides consulting, engineering, design, manufacturing, installation, and after-sales services for logistics systems and material handling equipment. The Carlisle, SC facility serves as one of their forging plant. Forging plants produce metal parts in a variety of sizes, shapes, materials, and finishes.
From November 2023 to February 2024, Daifuku partnered with CertaPro Painters to embark on an extensive exterior painting project for its Carlisle facility. The project encompassed various elements, including painting the front office brick with self-cleaning Loxone technology, updating exterior siding and man entry doors, replacing sealant joints, and refreshing metal siding, trim, bollards, gutters, wall caps, downspouts, and vinyl soffits with high-quality paints and sealants.

- Enhance the aesthetic appeal and longevity of the facility’s exterior.
- Implement specialized paint and sealant solutions tailored to the unique requirements of each surface.
- Overcome logistical challenges posed by the remote location and limited access to supply stores.
