Edgesmith, a leading New Zealand manufacturer and exporter of premium fencing and gate systems, needed a powder coating partner who could deliver consistent finish quality, durability, and fast technical support.

With a new in-house coating line coming online, they also saw an opportunity to differentiate in a competitive, import-driven market.

Climate Powder stepped in with locally made coatings, strong application expertise, and hands-on production experience — ready to support from trial through to full-scale production.

Edgesmith’s signature satin black finish required:

• Perfect batch-to-batch consistency
• Proven durability for harsh outdoor environments 
• Smooth, efficient application on a high-speed line

With their new powder coating line ready, and specific requirements for both performance and finish standards, Edgesmith proceeded to trial Climate Powder's DecorShield product — a high quality, versatile industrial powder coating for indoor and outdoor use.

Climate DecorShield delivered:

• Clear upfront technical alignment on finish, application and consistency expectations.
• Rapid supply of Black Satin samples and supporting data.
• Controlled on-line trial to validate performance, transfer efficiency and ease of use.

Looking ahead: SmartCure efficiency

With DecorShield proven, Edgesmith is preparing to explore SmartCure, Climate Powder’s low cure formulation designed to:

• Reduce energy use
• Increase efficiency and throughput with faster line speed and faster part cool down
• Measurable efficiency gains

Edgesmith shows what’s possible when local supply, technical expertise, and disciplined development come together: measurable results from day one.
