Ashley and Jason Hunsaker are owners of HTS Coatings in Madison, Illinois, which offers thermal spray coating for corrosion protection.

HTS Coatings is expanding and growing not only as a coating shop but also as a machining and grinding facility. They market themselves as a full-service thermal spray, grinding, machining, and welding facility that specializes in preventing corrosion- and erosion-related wear and in repairing components damaged during operation.

Their trademark thermal spray coating, BTHC-0005, is, they say, superior to hard-chrome deposits for corrosion protection.

“We know that the chrome replacement is coming,” she says. “And we do believe thermal spray is a viable option.”

Jeffrey Rubin is President of Testrite, a manufacturer of visual display products located in Hackensack, New Jersey.

After decades of wishful thinking about bringing powder coating in-house, in 2025, Jeffrey and his father, Larry, the CEO of Testrite, are finally up and running with their own powder coating line, following years of outsourcing the work to an external shop.

Testrite integrates graphics into visual merchandising, communication, and presentation environments, utilizing those graphics to capture attention and convey messages tastefully and effectively.

Their customers include some of the world's top retailers and brands. They collaborate with these companies’ visual merchandise and store planning departments, as well as associated digital printers, marketing, logistics, and installation companies, to deliver messages to stores that customers will see and, hopefully, respond to.
