Coating Place expanded in 2012 through the purchase of its manufacturing facility located in Sauk City, WI. This 110,000 ft² facility features numerous Wurster fluid bed coaters capable of custom manufacturing a variety of Animal Health and Specialty products.

Work in the specialty products industry began for Coating Place soon after its founding in 1977. In 1987, Coating Place began development work on the microencapsulation of breaker products for numerous oil field service companies. Coating Place was the exclusive supplier of breaker products to one of the leading service companies for over 20 years. Encapsulated breaker is used in the hydraulic fracturing industry to delay the release of active breaker material into the fracturing fluid. This delayed-release allows the material to be pumped to higher well temperatures before reaction occurs.

Coating Place was a forerunner in the innovation of encapsulated breakers during the surge for delayed-release breaker solutions. With over 45 years of experience in the specialty chemical field, Coating Place is capable of unique solutions for problems posed by the industry.
