Eastside Industrial Coatings and Composites produces reliable and high-quality coatings perfected over four decades. With its technical expertise, meticulous approach, and commitment to innovation, Eastside consistently delivers high-quality, durable, and aesthetically pleasing coating solutions.

Working closely with customers’ marketing and design teams enables it to create standout products. It transcends the role of order execution, becoming the thought partners in the process. Its innovative solutions and color samples often ignite new ideas for improved aesthetics.

An example of its competency is a project involving carbon fiber parts. Faced with the challenge of adding color without obscuring the textured material, Eastside introduced a candy apple blue hue, adding depth and dimension to the segments. This approach exemplifies its knack for balancing art and science and crafting bespoke methods that enhance a product’s aesthetic appeal.

In another instance, it was tasked with creating a unique finish for a limited-edition motorcycle. Eastside delivered a design that seamlessly combined power and elegance. The motorcycle gleamed with a rich whiskey-amber gloss and subtle graphite silver accents, a demonstration to craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Eastside’s dedication to precise surface preparation is a cornerstone of its process, encompassing tasks like ensuring proper paint adherence on various substrates. Every procedure, from sandblasting and cleaning to the positioning of the spray gun, is carefully recorded to guarantee a flawless finish on every piece. These preparation steps are critical when painting parts to achieve a perfect match under sunlight.

“Our customers are our top priority. We strive to exceed their expectations and continually deliver high-quality standards. We don’t just provide a service; we create solutions that help our clients succeed,” says Garth Danchuk, Vice President of Eastside.

Its rigorous internal testing and research enable it to establish precise, repeatable processes. Meticulous attention to detail and a robust quality management system culminate in the unmatched reliability Eastside’s clients have come to expect.

It also explores new technologies like electrostatic liquid painting, which promises superior transfer efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and uniform film coverage. The company asserts an impressive 99.8 percent external quality rate indicating its uncompromising standards.

Eastside’s growth is evident in a recent expansion, which added 40,000 square feet to its coatings division. This enables it to undertake larger projects while upholding its reputation as one of North America’s largest painting capacities, aptly responding to the increasing demands of clients. It has access to the best quality and variety of paints from companies like PPG, Axalta, US Paint, and Sherwin-Williams.

“We believe in staying ahead of the curve and not getting obsolete. We always want to know what the best is out there and how we can make our products more affordable and efficient,” says Astrit Troni, controller of Eastside.
