Nordson Industrial Coating Systems (ICS), a Nordson company (NASDAQ: NDSN) and leading supplier of equipment for the precise application of industrial coating solutions, has announced a partnership with Zoomlion Group –one of the world’s largest construction machinery companies – to provide robotic powder coating technology for global markets.
Through this global strategic alliance, Nordson will provide Zoomlion with advanced powder coating products and technologies for the company’s diverse line of heavy construction machinery. Nordson ICS executives Stephen Lovass, Vice President, and Stuart Li, General Manager Asia, joined Zoomlion executives at the Changsha, China, headquarters of Zoomlion to finalize the agreement.

“After meeting the leaders of Zoomlion and visiting the Museum of Zoomlion Lugu Industrial Park, I was deeply impressed by Zoomlion’s values and innovative products,” Lovass stated. “We are looking forward to cooperating with Zoomlion, not only in China, but also in Europe and the United States.”
Chunxin added “Zoomlion is still a young enterprise with big ambition. We have high standards of product quality and ambitious goals for enterprise development. Zoomlion has decided to build a world-class coating line with Nordson’s first-class products and technologies in our newly developed industrial park in Changsha to realize the advantages of new technology and improved environmental protection.”
The partners will focus first on two new Nordson technologies – the Encore® Engage controller and Nordson’s Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution, the Wisdom™ smart connected platform, along with robotic powder coating featuring Nordson’s Encore HD dense-phase technology.
This partnership with Zoomlion demonstrates Nordson’s global commitment to customers and the growth of the powder coating industry globally.
