ALLREDI BROADENS INDUSTRIAL COATINGS PORTFOLIO THROUGH NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH INTERNATIONAL®

 Allredi, a North American manufacturer and distributor of surface preparation, abrasives, and safety products, today announced the launch of a new Coatings division. The division brings products from International®, a leading provider of protective and marine coatings, into Allredi's expanding portfolio.

The launch marks a strategic step forward for Allredi, bringing coatings together with the company's established lines of abrasives, equipment, safety, tools, environmental, and rental and service solutions.

“Adding coatings to our portfolio is a natural extension of the work we already do every day for OEMs and industrial and marine contractors,” said Kevin Bourbonnais, CEO of Allredi. “High-performance coating systems strengthen our ability to support customers from surface preparation all the way through final application, giving them even more reason to rely on Allredi as a single source for their surface preparation and coating needs.”

The new coatings business will be led by Jonathan Jeanice, Director of Coatings – North America, who brings extensive industry experience and a dedicated focus on building out Allredi's coatings capabilities across the United States and Canada.

“Coatings are a natural fit for Allredi, because every successful coating project begins with proper surface preparation,” said Jeanice. “Our team already understands that side of the process, and now we're pairing that expertise with high-performance coating systems to help customers select and execute the right solution for their application. We're excited to bring International® marine and protective coatings to our customers and build a coatings platform that delivers value from specification through application.”

“International® remains committed to delivering the coating solutions that keep North America’s critical assets protected and operating longer and more reliably. It is through partnerships with premier distributors like Allredi that we can deliver these solutions to meet the dynamic needs of the industries we serve,” said Paul Westcott, Americas Director for International®.

The expanded offering will serve OEMs and industrial and marine contractors across a wide range of applications, including industrial facilities, infrastructure, oil and gas, storage tanks, marine and offshore assets, structural steel, and other critical infrastructure.
