May 2024, Oregon, WI:  All-Color Powder Coating, Inc. is proud to announce the achievement of PCI 3000 re-certification, marking 14 consecutive years of certified status. The PCI 3000 Certification Program, administered by The Powder Coating Institute (PCI), is an extensive audit program that evaluates a custom coater’s business practices, process elements, equipment, maintenance practices and quality control capabilities. Certified coaters show, through demonstrated audit performance measurement, that they have the capabilities to correctly clean, coat and cure products to produce quality coated parts.

In order to maintain PCI certified status, annual audit procedures are required. The certification cycle consists of an intensive on-site audit, followed by two years of maintenance audits which require documentation that ensures processes and procedures evaluated during the onsite audit have been sustained to the level required for PCI 3000 certification. In year four, the intensive on-site audit is repeated.

“All-Color Powder Coating, Inc. continues to demonstrate that it understands powder coating is a high-performance painting process that must be maintained and controlled to optimize the performance of the finish,” notes Kevin Coursin, PCI’s Executive Director. “By completing the certification renewal process, All-Color Powder Coating, Inc. has confirmed that the processes and procedures required to maintain PCI 3000 Certification have been sustained and continued,” he adds.

“Achieving PCI Certification enables us to differentiate ourselves from other custom coaters,” states Mark Mortensen, President. “We want to show our customers that we take their powder coating needs seriously and have taken appropriate steps to ensure we have the equipment and procedures in place to meet their specific requirements,” he adds.
