D&K Coating Technologies

Overview: D&K Coating Technologies, a Janesville, Wisconsin-based custom coating business specializing in custom adhesives, aqueous coating, and toll coating services, has been divested by D&K Group and acquired by Jessup Manufacturing Company, a McHenry, Illinois-based global manufacturer of adhesive coated and laminated materials, photoluminescent films, and specialty graphics media. The acquisition provides additional resources and strategic guidance to expand coating capabilities, enhance operational capacity, and better serve customers across industrial, graphics, and specialty coating markets.

Significance: D&K Coating Technologies has established a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, specialized adhesive coating solutions. As demand for specialized, high-performance coated materials continues to grow across industrial, aerospace, and graphics applications, the business is well positioned to capitalize on these trends as part of Jessup Manufacturing. Backed by Jessup's broader manufacturing scale, converting expertise, and adhesive coating platform, the Janesville facility can expand production capacity and pursue growth initiatives, strengthening its position as a trusted custom coating partner. The acquisition reflects Jessup Manufacturing's strategy of acquiring specialized, complementary coating operations to broaden its manufacturing capabilities and strengthen its position in the adhesive-coated materials industry.
