WARSAW, IN (November 15, 2010)-Winona PVD Coatings, LLC has shipped the inaugural batch of over 3,000 wheels for the first Original Equipment Manufacturer PVD Wheel Program. This initial shipment is a successful launch for the 2011 Chrysler Town & Country minivan. The wheel, which is manufactured by Dicastal Wheel Manufacturing Co., a subsidiary of CITIC Group Company based in Qin Huangdao City, China, is coated with Winona PVD Coatings’ environmentally friendly G-Chrome® bright finish. 

“This project is the culmination of a joint effort between Chrysler, Dicastal and Winona PVD Coatings”, says Jamie Visker, CEO of Winona PVD Coatings. “The individuals from the various teams have worked tirelessly to make this project a reality and to bring this new wheel coating technology to market. The Chrysler Town & Country is an iconic minivan and we are very proud to be a part of its refreshing, new look.”
