Selecting the right coating partner is critical to the long-term performance, safety, and value of industrial assets. Coatings are not simply finishes—they are engineered systems designed to protect against corrosion, wear, environmental exposure, and operational stress. Automatic Coating Limited (ACL) stands apart as a trusted industry leader by combining advanced technology, deep technical expertise, and a proven track record across some of the most demanding sectors in North America.
ACL operates one of the most technically advanced coating facilities in North America. Continuous investment in equipment, automation, and process innovation allows ACL to deliver consistent, high-performance results across powder coating, liquid coating, fusion bond epoxy, and proprietary coating systems.
From fully automated electrostatic powder coating lines to advanced plural-component liquid systems, ACL’s technology ensures repeatability, precision, and scalability. This capability enables ACL to support both high-volume production and complex, one-off industrial projects with equal efficiency.
One of ACL’s key advantages is the breadth of services offered. Customers benefit from a single partner capable of handling surface preparation, coating application, testing, and quality assurance.
Core services include:
This integrated approach reduces project complexity, improves turnaround time, and ensures accountability throughout the coating lifecycle.
ACL is recognized for developing patented and proprietary coating technologies that solve real-world performance challenges. The Tidal Coat immersion coating system is a prime example, delivering complete encapsulation and superior corrosion resistance for marine and defence applications.
These proprietary systems allow ACL to offer solutions that outperform conventional coating methods, particularly in environments where standard approaches fail prematurely.
Beyond coating application, ACL provides engineering and fabrication support that enhances project outcomes. In-house design capabilities, including CAD and SolidWorks, allow ACL to develop custom equipment, fixtures, and process solutions tailored to specific applications.
This engineering-driven approach ensures coatings are not only applied correctly but integrated seamlessly into broader manufacturing or infrastructure systems.
ACL’s facilities are designed to accommodate large, heavy, and complex components. With over 70,000 square feet of production space and expansive laydown and storage areas, ACL can process oversized components that many competitors cannot handle.
Key infrastructure capabilities include:
This scale supports industries such as oil and gas, transportation, marine, defence, and renewable energy.
Quality is foundational at ACL. Operations are governed by an ISO 9001-certified quality management system, supported by in-house laboratory testing and inspection capabilities. Coatings are validated against recognized standards such as ASTM, NACE, SSPC, CSA, and AMMA.
ACL is an approved coater for major utilities, pipeline operators, and military organizations, reflecting trust built through consistent performance and compliance.
ACL is committed to environmentally responsible coating practices. Powder coating systems reduce VOC emissions, while automated processes minimize material waste and energy consumption. Field coating innovations have demonstrated significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional methods.
Sustainability is integrated into both process design and coating selection, helping customers meet environmental and regulatory objectives.
ACL extends its expertise beyond its own facilities by offering consulting services for coating shop design, layout optimization, and workforce training. This knowledge-sharing approach elevates industry standards and supports long-term client success.
Automation, experience, and process control enable ACL to deliver fast turnaround times without sacrificing quality. Customers rely on ACL for consistent performance, dependable scheduling, and coatings that perform as promised in real-world conditions.
Choosing Automatic Coating Limited means partnering with a company that understands the full lifecycle of coated assets. Through innovation, quality, and collaboration, ACL delivers coating solutions that protect investments, reduce risk, and create long-term value.
