Coating Place history

By 1982, Coating Place was able to introduce the first micro-coater for research purposes.

The company continued to advance the Wurster coating technology with the 7-nozzle Model 4600 production unit built in-house in 1989.

In 1997, Coating Place revolutionized the Wurster fluid bed coating process when they introduced the 3-nozzle Wurster unit, allowing for proprietary linear scalability from research batches in the micro-coater to production batches in the single-nozzle, 3-nozzle or 7-nozzle Wurster units.

In 1999, Tim and Kendall Breunig purchased majority ownership in Coating Place, ushering in a time of enlargement and growth for the company in its GMP contract manufacturing services.

The 2000’s marked a time of facility growth for Coating Place.

The 2004 expansion enclosed the courtyard at Coating Place, connecting all areas of the company through internal, controlled corridors.

In 2007, the company experienced another major renovation with the addition of the 78,000 ft2 warehouse and production suite expansion.

Finally, a 2009 expansion of 3,000 ft2 to the shipping and receiving dock now allows for more efficient in-flow and out-flow of materials.

Coating Place expanded its administrative offices in 2011 and also built a larger, ambient controlled substance warehouse to allow for more adequate storage of raw and finished materials.

In January of 2012, Coating Place expanded its manufacturing capabilities with the purchase of a processing facility in Sauk City, Wisconsin.

In 2014, the Sauk City facility expanded by 55,000 ft2 bringing its total processing and storage space to 110,000 ft2 with the capability to fabricate and operate 8 additional Wurster fluid bed coating units.

The administrative offices were expanded in 2017 with completion a year later.
