MaxCoat™ Extra Multi-Layer Finish Offers Superior Protection Warranted for Five Years

NOVI, Mich., July 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxion Wheels, a division of Iochpe-Maxion S.A, announced the introduction of the industry's first five-year standard warranty with its MaxCoat™ Extra multi-layer finish on the company's hub-piloted single and wide-base tubeless disc steel wheels sold in North America.

Maxion Wheels MaxCoat(TM) Extra Finish Warranty introduced to the North American commercial vehicle market on July 1, 2016. This is the industry's first standard finish warranty for steel wheels.

Maxion Wheels' proprietary MaxCoat Extra multi-layer finish includes state-of-the-art E-coat and powder coating that provides superior edge protection and creates a highly-durable, baked-on finish that protects truck and trailer wheels from even the most punishing road and environmental conditions keeping the wheels looking and performing like new.

"Maxion Wheels is so confident in the performance and quality of its multi-layer finish on hub-piloted wheels that it now offers a five-year warranty as standard," said Don Polk, President of Maxion Wheels, Americas. "Our North American fleet customers are excited about the finish technology and the added protection it offers against normal road conditions and corrosion. A fleet owner can spend up to $1,260 to refinish all of its wheels on an 18-wheeler; with MaxCoat Extra finish you can avoid the expense and reduce your total cost of ownership."
