Our combination of finishing expertise and innovative design offers a distinct difference that delivers unique customer advantages unmatched by any competitor in the industry.
Does Your Systems House Offer These Advantages?
Modular Design
Equipment is built at our facilities and delivered as a finished unit to your location. Modules come pre-wired, plumbed, and tested, resulting in less production downtime and faster system start-up.
Energy Savings
Midwest Finishing delivers the industry’s most energy efficient systems. Exclusive insulation packages are proven to reduce energy usage by up to 49%. Savings are verified by an independent energy audit.
Quick Installation
Equipment is shipped on our own trucks and arrives ready-to-set with full installation in weeks rather than months. Equipment can be reconfigured for future expansion or relocation.
Applications Lab
ISO 9001:2015 facility with 8-stage washer, cure oven, powder booth, salt spray, and test equipment. Customer parts can be tested to ensure the best pretreatment and cure process has been developed.
Custom Controls
Ethernet connectivity for remote system modifications and troubleshooting. Full system diagnostics monitor all aspects of system operation. All Midwest finishing systems use Allen-Bradley components.
Company Personnel
Installation teams, rigging crews, engineers, and project managers are all employees of Midwest Finishing. Dedicated project managers provide complete coordination from initial site survey to system start-up.
What makes Midwest Finishing Systems different from other powder coating system manufacturers?
Midwest Finishing Systems provides a true turnkey solution by designing, manufacturing, testing, delivering, installing, and servicing complete finishing systems using company-employed engineers, project managers, installers, and service technicians. This integrated approach gives customers a single point of responsibility from concept through startup and long-term support, reducing project complexity and improving overall system performance.
Why is modular construction an advantage for powder coating systems?
Modular construction allows major equipment to be factory assembled, pre-wired, pre-plumbed, and fully tested before shipment. This reduces on-site installation time, minimizes production disruption, improves quality control, and enables faster startup compared to equipment assembled entirely in the field.
Why does Midwest Finishing Systems use company-employed installation teams?
Using company-employed engineers, installers, rigging crews, and project managers ensures consistent quality, clear communication, and accountability throughout every phase of the project. Customers work with one experienced team rather than coordinating multiple subcontractors, resulting in smoother installations and better long-term support.
How does Midwest Finishing Systems improve long-term operating costs?
Midwest systems are engineered for long-term efficiency through high-performance insulation, energy-efficient oven designs, intelligent controls, modular construction, and equipment designed for easier maintenance and future expansion. These design features help reduce energy consumption, minimize downtime, and lower the total cost of ownership over the life of the system.
Why is a turnkey powder coating system better than purchasing equipment from multiple suppliers?
A turnkey system ensures every major component—including pretreatment, ovens, environmental rooms, controls, material handling, and installation—is engineered to work together as one integrated solution. This simplifies project management, reduces compatibility issues, shortens startup time, and provides a single source for engineering, service, and ongoing support throughout the system's lifecycle.
