KELLY TILLAGE
​
​
At Arkote, listening to our customers' stories and understanding why they choose our quality coating services to complete their projects is incredibly fulfilling.
​
Our partners - Kelly Tillage, are situated near Booleroo Centre in South Australia. They specialise in designing, manufacturing, and distributing disc chain tillage equipment across continents like Australia, North America, Europe and Africa.
​
As agricultural equipment has advanced, coating technology for this demanding market has improved along with it. The agricultural equipment industry is being driven by customer demand for a class “A” finish that looks exceptional and provides the maximum protection they need. Before turning to Arkote for a solution, Kelly Tillage faced challenges with surface preparation. Upon investigation, Kelly's team realised that sandblasting proved to be a superior option for cleaning and preparing agricultural machinery surfaces before top coating. After further investigation, the decision was made to replace wet spray with Arkote’s Tuffkote Powder Coating System. Kelly Tillage not only addressed their immediate surface preparation challenges but also gained long-term advantages in durability, efficiency, and sustainability for their agricultural machinery coatings.
​
Arkote not only delivers superior powder coating finishes for Kelly Tillage but also ensures a seamless process by offering convenient pick-up and delivery services for their parts. This end-to-end care saves a lot of time and significantly expedites their product journey.
​
Arkote’s partnership with Kelly Tillage has thrived for 3 successful years and continues to grow.
