The investment for painting plastics means changes in both technology and logistics, in which the paint plant will get an increased number of robots in both the priming and topcoat facilities and a completely new box for inspection and adjustments.
“The changes are being made for reasons of quality, costs, and the environment. There are great synergies to be gained by painting both the cab and its components in the same flow,” says Lage Lindfors, plant manager for Volvo Trucks in Umeå.
“Volvo stands for quality, safety, and environment, and Volvo Trucks now has a complete, world-class paint facility with focus on our core values,” says Lage Lindfors.
