Coatings as Differentiator In-house coating capabilities for standard and unique coatings enable performance customization, helping Melin extend tool life and performance in demanding metals and processes. This capability can be highlighted to target buyers looking to optimize machining outcomes and reduce downtime.

Leverage Walter's network to reach established tooling buyers and surface-treatment customers with bundled tooling and coating offerings.
