American Roller Begins Production of Plasma Coatings in Shanghai
SHANGHAI – The Plasma Coatings division of American Roller Co., Union Grove, WI, announced the start of production at its new facility located in the Baoshan District, Shanghai, China. ARC (Shanghai) Engineered Products Co. Ltd. is a wholly owned foreign enterprise of the parent company American Roller.
The company’s Board of Directors approved the investment in January after years of discussion with key U.S. customers who were expanding in Asia and seeking a continuation of the company’s high-valued coatings and services. Former American Roller CFO Larry Vogus, who died suddenly in his Shanghai apartment just weeks before the startup, led the expansion initiative.
