Orion Industries named a "Whitford Recommended Coater"


April 2012, Chicago, IL. Whitford, makers of the world's largest, most complete line of fluoropolymer
coatings, recently launched a Recommended Coater program to recognize those
applicators who have met certain criteria set by Whitford. Among these are knowledge of
Whitford coatings and experience in applying them, having a strong quality-control program in
place, and attendance at one of Whitford's bi-annual training sessions held at headquarters in
Elverson, PA. One of the companies named as a Recommended Coater is Orion Industries of
Chicago, IL.

Orion Industries was founded in 1963 by its current Chairman, Bruce Nesbitt. The company
has been applying Whitford coatings since 1969. Their coatings increase the value of automotive
parts, bio-medical devices, consumer goods and many other products by creating
functional surfaces that eliminate problems. Orion's expert engineers and innovative techniques
solve issues of friction, sticking, corrosion, noise, abrasion, and even FDA compliance.
Their production machinery, tooling and fixtures are built in-house, enabling jobs to begin in
weeks rather than months. Orion serves a wide variety of industries, including aerospace,
alternative energy, biomedical, electronics and automotive.

Says George Osterhout, President of Orion Industries, "We thank Whitford for this recognition
and look forward to continuing our long partnership with them."
