Starting January 1, 2025, Metromation will serve as the exclusive sales partner of ORONTEC in Germany. Metromation’s founder and president, Ralph, co-founded ORONTEC in 2014, pioneering the development of Liquid Color Measurement (LCM) technology for the paint and coatings industry. Since its inception, this innovation has empowered companies worldwide, significantly reducing color testing times and boosting productivity.
Metromation is excited to build on this success in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, leveraging synergies with other advanced solutions for precise and efficient testing in or near production environments.
Liquid Color Measurement exemplifies a key component of the “Smart Paint Factory” vision—a concept championed by Ralph in collaboration with industry partners. With its ability to deliver full digital integration, utilize digital color standards, and support a high degree of automation, LCM is the ideal solution for companies looking to meet the increasing technical demands of modern paint systems, accelerate product development cycles, and streamline paint production.

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Fluidan (www.fluidan.com) and their RheoStream® Inline Viscosity Measurement System. This cutting-edge technology enables manufacturers to measure viscosity directly at the production line, eliminating delays associated with sending samples to the QC lab.

Stop Biological Activities in Paint and More!
We are excited to unveil PS GPS, an innovative additive made from natural biopolymers. This sustainable, non-toxic solution prevents biological activity such as bacterial growth. It offers both a buffering effect and antibacterial properties, making it ideal for applications like extended in-can preservation.
It was a good show with a great program and a wonderful opportunity of meeting peers of the industry. Ralph was presenting AI solutions for Paint Production and moderated on AI session at the conference.
There are three outcomes to mention:
One trend is definitely AI and digitalization, but everything depends on how companies deal with it in detail. Besides the hype, it needs a thorough investigation into what is needed and how it can be implemented. Benefits are possible in R&D, as presented by Uncountable and Alchemy. But also in Production, as presented by Metromation on behalf of Hemmelrath Technologies.
Another important topic is how the US deals with Sustainability. Some level of lack of understanding of the needs of the industry from US Authorities, but also a look at the European Union and their experience with Sustainability.
And last but not least, this conference was full of vivid people from different angles of the industry. It was good to see so many young people and young companies exploring what is possible in the Paint and Coatings Industry.
We are looking forward to the next CTT conference and contributing to the overall performance improvement of our industry.
