PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Axalta Coating Systems (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global supplier of liquid
and powder coatings, has partnered with Vorteq Coil Finishers to feature
Vorteq as the primary sponsor on the hood of JR Motorsports’ No. 9
Axalta Chevrolet race car driven by William Byron at Daytona
International Speedway on Friday, June 30, 2017. Byron captured his
first win in the NASCAR Xfinity Series last weekend in Iowa in the No. 9
Axalta Chevrolet.
Vorteq Coil Finishers, formerly Wismarq Industries, has rebranded around
the core values of strength and momentum. The name change, along with
Vorteq’s new web-based customer portal, QUEST is the culmination of a
comprehensive initiative to create a differentiated and personalized
customer service model to further augment the company’s premium quality
standards, and to enhance brand recognition of the company as an
industry leader for specialized coil coatings. Part of the company’s
recent growth includes the October, 2016 acquisition of Allentown,
Pennsylvania-based Prior Coating Metals Inc., which expands Vorteq’s
production capacity, processing capabilities and geographic footprint to
better service their diverse customer base.
“Seeing the No. 9 Axalta Chevrolet racing at Daytona International
Speedway will be an amazing experience,” said Jim Dockey, CEO of Vorteq
Coil Finishers. “The valued partnership we have with Axalta helps drive
the momentum and growth of our newly branded company. It will be a
thrill to see those same attributes on the track at Daytona when William
Byron chases back to back wins, while proudly displaying the Vorteq logo
on his car.”
“Vorteq’s strength and momentum as a dynamic coil coating company will
be well represented on the track on Friday,” said Michael Cash, Senior
Vice President and President, Industrial Coatings. “JR Motorsports and
Vorteq share a common desire to compete at the highest level based on
speed and execution, which makes Vorteq a great partner for the Daytona
Xfinity race.”
