d&k difference

D & K Powder Coating was established in 2013 by Dana and Kathy Schnepf. From the start, the company has been committed to delivering high-quality powder coating and exceptional customer service. These core values helped D & K Powder Coating quickly become competitive in the industry, leading to rapid growth.

After just two years, the business outgrew its original shop on Riverfront Drive, prompting the construction of a new facility in upper North Mankato. This new building enabled further expansion, including the addition of media blasting services. As the company continued to thrive, expansions were made in 2018 and 2021, nearly tripling the size of the shop.

In 2024, D & K Powder Coating expanded by adding 22,000 square feet to the East at its current location, enhancing the company's growth and service offerings with the introduction of burn-off services. Today, D & K Powder Coating continues to lead in both powder coating and media blasting, with plans for further expansion on the horizon. The company is also proud to be ISO 9001:2015 certified and registered.

Powder coating finishes are applied electrostatically, cured under heat, and create a long-lasting finish that is substantially stronger than conventional paint.  Powder coating is a solvent-free, environmentally friendly finish that virtually eliminates air and water pollution.  Powder coating is available in thousands of colors and is one of the most durable and least expensive paint finishes available.

Media blasting is a process used to strip paint, rust, scale, and other debris from a surface to prepare for finishing services or to provide the finished profile based on specific customer request.  D & K Powder Coating has fully integrated reclaim systems to minimize environmental impact and offers aluminum oxide and steel grit media options.
