WestRock is an advanced manufacturer that specializes in the production of liquid dispensing solutions for consumer packaged goods. An integral part of this production facility and critical to operating efficiency is a network of automated guided vehicles that transport materials between production and the warehouse.

In order to ensure these vehicles stay on task, WestRock coated the pathways with Tennant’s Eco-SDS™ in a semi-gloss finish. The ability of Eco-SDS™ to dissipate electrostatic build-up insures that the vehicles guidance systems function properly. The blue colored floors identify the vehicle pathways for employees. The red areas caution employees to the vehicles turn-around zones, which are locations where the vehicles may pivot, turn or back-up.

The result – Eco-SDS™ Semi-Gloss is contributing to providing an efficient, automated and safe work environment while improving its appearance.
