Introduction

Fixatti stands for the merger of Schaetti Coating Technology and Dakota Coatings, both considered global leaders in the adhesive powder and coating industry, who joined forces in November 2018. Both companies have an extensive production capacity in grinding, compounding and blending of a variety of polymers.  Whereas Schaetti has always leveraged on their own polymerization of thermoplastic co-polyamides and co-polyesters, Dakota remains a very strong player in different but complementary niche products, such as the production of Epoxy Polyester binding resins for the acoustic felt business and high value polyurethanes for the custom heat transfer and conveyor belt industry.

Together FIXATTI targets to expand its product ranges to further supply the automotive, building, textile, furniture, footwear and metal coating industry.

FIXATTI represents innovation, quality and application competence. We leverage on a long-lasting experience in this niche industry, with a dedicated international team, continuous major investments in R&D and modern manufacturing facilities. The advantages of scale throughout the entire organization from R&D to purchases, production and sales enables the new company to be and remain the most competitive solution provider in this specialty polymer market.

Customer satisfaction is our top priority. Our customers' specifications and applications determine our processes and actions. We place great value in long-term relationships based on partnership.
