Katahdin Industries provides high-tolerance coating applications and specialized metal-finishing technology and services to the medical device and industrial markets through our subsidiary, Precision Coating Company, Inc. To simplify how customers know us and clarify the range of services within the company, DCHN (formerly a subsidiary) and Precision Coating Company (PCCI) will now operate solely under the Precision Coating Company brand.

Headquartered in Hudson, Mass., with operations in Woonsocket, R.I., and Alajuela, Costa Rica, Katahdin has earned an industry reputation as an innovative, high-quality supplier. Katahdin's technical and product development expertise, strong facilities, and problem-solving culture have resulted in a track record of successful partnerships with its customers.

Katahdin's coating operations are conducted through PCCI, one of the largest plastics coating applicators in the world, specializing in PTFE coating applications in the medical device market. With over 50 years of experience and investment in select, value-add surface treatment, coating application, and printing technologies, Precision Coating aims to be the preferred supplier of these manufacturing services for the medical device industry, and to help our customers achieve their product engineering and manufacturing goals.

Whether your product needs a close-tolerance PTFE coating or an anodic coating and printing suited for regularly cleaning and sterilization, PCCI can focus its unparalleled resources and specialized capabilities to accelerate your product launch and reliably meet your manufacturing requirements over its life cycle. This is what Katahdin means by "The surface is only the beginning."
