About MBI
MBI Coatings is a brand of Metallic Bonds LLC. Metallic Bonds LLC and MBI Coatings moved from Wisconsin to the Carolinas in 1990. Originally the company was located in Charlotte NC with our business mainly geared around applications of hard coatings for the then vast textile industry.
In 2003 we moved our facilities 25 miles south of Charlotte to Lancaster, SC. This move helped us expand in order to serve other industries, and take advantage of owning our own property which concists of 7 acres, and over 20,000 square feet of production space.
Ever since, we've continued to expand our coating capabilities by acquiring additional equipment such as:
- HVOF spray equipment
- Additional Plasma spray systems
- Additional Arc spray systems
- Additional Flame spray systems
- Fusion spray equipment
- Larger lathes
- Larger cylidrical grinders
- Milling machine
- Non-stick / Release coatings systems
- Large compressed air system with dryers
- Larger parts handling (Forklifts & cranes)
