Behind the scenes at COLORBOND®

Join us for an educational tour of the Western Sydney Service Centre Coil Paintline and see first-hand how colour is applied to steel.

Discover the new state-of-the-art high speed line processing a continuous production designed to organically coat hot dipped metal coated steel (strip) into prepainted steel products through a complex painting process. Witness a number of quality advantages over alternate BlueScope Steel production routes which focus on:

• Rapid product/colour changeover times

• Product flexibility (Size of coils)

• Unique product Opportunities (Example; 2 paint colours per coil)

• Short lead times

• Improved customer delivery time

Explore colour and current trends in a presentation designed to help you guide your clients’ colour choices with greater confidence.
