MN100: Tri-State Coating and Machine Co., Inc.

Marine News
The Company:
Tri-State Coating And Machine Co., Inc. began operation in March 1987 with the goal of producing long-lasting parts to service the coal mine industry while creating jobs for a depressed economy. The company is located along the Guyandotte River just 15 miles south of Huntington, West Virginia. Opportunity opened in the marine industry. The hard-coated tail shaft sleeves were very much in demand but very competitive. Eventually, the firm became one of the world’s largest producers of hard-coated liner sleeves. They sustained this business by maintaining the materials in stock which allows them to manufacture sleeves in the time frames required while the vessels are dry docked for short periods of maintenance. The firm employs about 70.
 
The Case:
Tri-State Coating and Machine has become one of the world’s largest producers of hard-coated liner sleeves. TSC knows that the abuse that workboats, push boats, and tug boats endure from dirty, brackish, and corrosive salt water; calls for liners that are a cut above the rest.
