Using C.A. Technologies
C.A. (Coating Atomization) Technologies — also knon as CAT — was founded in 1997 in Louisville, Colorado. The company started providing expertise in the design and creation of coating and finishing equipment. In late 2015, Wagner acquired C.A.Technologies, adding to its professional spray systems, pumps, and tanks. CAT, with Wagner, are now a powerhouse of paint and stain equipment. CAT’s brand is so prevalent, even many years later, it’s worth highlighting to understand the unique line and its options available.
