DuPont CoatingSolutions has formally certified Nor-Ell Inc. of Fridley, MN, as a Certified Star CoaterSM.

As a member of the DuPont Star Coater program, Nor-Ell submitted a request for DuPont to audit its operations in an effort to qualify for certified status. For a Star Coater member to qualify as certified, an independent industry consultant examines 10 different areas that cover the operations of the business. These areas include safety, customer satisfaction and quality and consistency.

“We established the Star Coater program to assist custom coaters in facing the many demands of their industry with a continuous improvement mentality. Nor-Ell is a perfect example,” said Trena Benson, marketing manager, DuPont CoatingSolutions. “Going one step further to obtain the certification differentiates them as a quality-oriented, customer-focused coater."
