Expands Coating Color Options for Sheet Metal Processing and Welding

Starting January 29, 2024, meviy, an AI-based parts procurement platform powered by MISUMI Group Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan; Representative Director and President: Ryusei Ono) will add five colors to its coating color options for sheet metal processing and sheet metal welding: red, orange, light blue, yellow-green, and brown. The newly adopted solvent coating process achieves a highly saturated color tone, and the coating color options available at meviy is now increased to 20 to meet more diverse needs. These include red, a safety color that "warns of danger" in factories, so that parts used in a wider range of situations can now be processed with meviy.
We will continue to provide time value to our global customers in the IA (Industrial Automation) industry through expanding our services and contribute to enhancing their productivity.

Previously, meviy used powder coating^*1 and offered black, white, gray, and cream paint colors. In response to the increasing demand for dedicated paint colors in the automotive and other industries, we decided to adopt solvent coating^*2 that achieves a vivid color tone, and add five new colors to the existing coating color options - red, orange, light blue, yellow-green and brown. This will allow meviy customers to paint with colors from the red, yellow and blue color systems. To make this possible, we have set new quality standards to meet customer requirements and upgraded our production system.
In addition, the newly added red and orange are safety colors and can be used for more than 60% of JIS Z 9103 (General Safety Colors). They are expected to be used in a wider range of situations, such as visually indicating "danger/caution areas" and "danger/caution points" in manufacturing and other facilities.

The values shown are approximate values.
