Nycote^® Laboratories Corporation, the top global manufacturer of anti-corrosion protection technology to the aviation and aerospace industry for the last 60 years, initiates plans to expand distribution lines into India through their partnership with Pexa Aerospace Materials, the leading specialist and supplier of surface coatings to the aerospace and high-tech industries.

Nycote is the only global supplier that can deliver an unrivaled multi-block copolymerization process producing a clear, chrome-free, lightweight liquid coating with the flexibility of nylon and the strength of epoxy. The optimized highly cross-linked copolymer coating creates a self-leveling, pinhole free complex barrier that can increase asset lifespan, enhance safety and reduce maintenance costs. Its one-coat technology can be custom tinted, applied on a multitude of surfaces including fiberglass, carbon fiber, fabric, as well as over other coatings. Nycote’s performance is outstanding and is capable of withstanding severe weather conditions while preventing corrosion and conductivity.

Trusted and approved by Boeing, Airbus, Embraer and other original equipment manufacturers for decades, Nycote’s advanced coating technology is suitable for both OEM and MRO application and are EU/ IATA/ REACH Compliant.

 “We clearly saw the potential for robust growth throughout Europe, and with Pexa’s well established relationships with their customers and their commitment to partner with only highly-reputable companies, we were confident that Jim and his team were the right choice,” said Marcie Simpson, Nycote’s President and Chief Operating Officer regarding their exclusive European distribution agreement with Pexa Aerospace Materials.

“As Pexa expands into South Asia, coinciding with the country’s commitment to substantially increase commercial aviation, Nycote Laboratories is well-positioned to supply superior and advanced coating products at the level of service and technical support we are known for, and meet the demands of those charged to deliver thousands of new jets within the next 20 years, as well as the country’s growing community of aviation and aerospace manufacture,” Simpson continued.

As the Global Anti-Corrosion Coatings Market’s Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is forecasted to grow 5.2% reaching US$37.2 billion in the next 5 years, which parallels Suresh Pradhu, India’s Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Civil Aviation’s recent commitment of US$60 billion to build 100 new airports to keep up with the massive economic growth.

“We have already established several commitments with many of India’s leading aerospace companies,” said Jim Rowbotham, Managing Director, Pexa Aerospace Materials. “Our technical know-how and product support capabilities continue to be valued and appreciated, and we look forward to developing new relationships within the emerging aerospace manufacturing community.”

“Industry leaders in India are aware of Pexa’s undisputed reputation in the UK and Europe, as well as our level of commitment, service and satisfaction among its customers,” explains Jaganathan PK, Pexa’s Head of Operations in India for the last 3 years. “Pexa’s facility in South Bangalore will have the capabilities to fully supply superior lines of products directly to the local market that will adhere to their specifications and applications, as well as provide technical and customer support programs to ensure broad satisfaction.”
