Axalta Coating Systems was recognized as a certified supplier for the eighth consecutive time by Worthington Industries at their recent supplier event in Columbus, Ohio. The award recognizes Axalta’s tough, durable and environmentally responsible coatings in conjunction with excellent service and support to Worthington Industries in 2015.

To become a Worthington Certified Supplier, Axalta was required to meet or exceed a number of product performance standards as well as quarterly on-time delivery evaluations of the Alesta and E-Coat products it supplies to Worthington Industries.
