Manufacturing
Coatings and finishes for plants that keep running.
Manufacturing facilities need protective coatings on equipment and structure, floors that take forklifts and chemicals, and walls, offices and exteriors maintained around production. McAllister has coated dust collection units, stacks, walkways and safety handrails in a working plant, coated warehouse floors and built out offices inside industrial buildings.

- Floor coatings with striping and safety markings
- Scheduled shutdowns and phased areas
- Office build-outs inside the plant
Facilities
Manufacturing facilities we work in.
Each facility type has its own page with the surfaces, schedule and services that apply.
Fabrication Facilities
Fab shops are hard on everything: welding fumes, grinding dust, forklifts and heavy steel.
Factories
Factories need protective coatings on equipment, structure and walls, applied around production.
Food Processing
Food plants require cleanable, sanitary surfaces that withstand wash-downs and sanitizing chemicals.
Machine Shops
Machine shops need floors that resist coolant and oil and walls that brighten the work.
Warehouses
Warehouses cannot stop moving product, so floors, walls and steel are coated in phases around receiving and shipping.
How we approach it
Sequenced with production, specified for the exposure.
Plant work starts with the shutdown calendar and the areas that can be phased. Equipment is masked and protected, lifts are staged for structure and stacks, and the coating systems are selected for corrosion, abrasion, chemicals and weather.
Floors are specified for the traffic they carry, with aisles, walkways and zones marked in the coating. Offices, break rooms and support buildings are framed, finished and painted as part of the same scope.
Services
Most often scoped for manufacturing.
Commercial Coatings
Protective coating systems for structural steel, metal panels, masonry, concrete, tanks and overhead structure, selected for the exposure and applied over proper preparation.

Questions
Manufacturing questions.
Still have a question? The office is open Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM.
Can you coat equipment and structure while the plant runs?
Often, yes. Work is sequenced with production, with areas phased and equipment masked. Where a shutdown is needed we plan the crew size to use the window fully.
Which coatings do you use on industrial steel?
Systems are selected for the exposure: corrosion, heat, chemicals and weather. Preparation and primer are matched to the substrate and the product data sheet, and submittals go in for approval before work starts.
Do you do floor striping and safety markings?
Yes. Aisles, walkways, zones and safety colors on handrails and equipment are part of most industrial projects.
