Precision Technology LLC Becomes Pretec USA

Jan 16, 2017

Precision Technology LLC (Memphis, Tenn.) is now Pretec USA.

The change to the company’s corporate name was made to avoid confusion following National Paint Industries’ purchase of Pretec’s clear coatings business in April 2016. National Paint Industries now sells products using the Precision Technology brand.

Pretec’s business address, phone numbers, management and ownership remain the same.
