    Calico Coatings was founded by racers, for racers. Tracy Trotter, owner and a racer himself, set out to develop the industry's most technologically advanced coatings — with the ability to withstand the extreme conditions of high speed and engine wear. Calico quickly gained a reputation as a leader in high performance with race teams and engine builders to solve issues of friction, wear, heat and corrosion. Trotter started the company with a little help from a special friend. "After working in the industry for several years I knew I could do this for myself. So, with the little savings I had and a small loan from my grandmother, I opened the doors of Calico Coatings." Starting with only two employees, Calico has now grown to 40 employees, running two shifts in order to meet the growing demands of their customers. For more than 20 years, the Calico team has worked relentlessly to maintain their reputation as the highest quality coating company in numerous industries in addition to racing. To remain on the cutting edge of coating technology they have also made advancements in thin films. "Our goal is to be the best in the coating business when it comes to quality," said General Manager Jennifer Jenkins. "We have been blessed with an unbelievable team of people at Calico Coatings and they have been the reason for our success through the years. When many small businesses have struggled to keep afloat, Calico has been able to successfully navigate through the financial challenges of the recent years. In 2007, Calico expanded their operation by adding a laboratory facility dedicated to the research and development of new coatings, including diamond-like coatings. By the end of 2012, Calico combined their operations into their corporate headquarters. Then in 2019, an additional expansion to make room for more thin films machines is now a state-of-the-art, 30,000 sq. ft. manufacturing and research facility located in Denver, NC.

    "Alvinesa Natural Ingredients is a leader in ""circular economy"" working with sustainable ingredients of plant origin. The company valorizes and transforms agricultural products into natural ingredients of great value that promote a healthy life. Alvinesa markets a wide range of natural products made from grape pomace for use in the food, beverage, nutrition, animal nutrition and wine industry. In our history, we have worked with a wide selection of polyphenols (micronutrients with active antioxidants), polysaccharides, natural tartaric acid, grape seed oil and alcohols. Alvinesa controls a sustainable, traceable supply chain that has waste prevention techniques. We obtain the highest quality grape pomace without the use of pesticides (or with a low content of them) mainly from the wine region of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. We transform 100% of the raw materials into ingredients suitable for the manufacture of products, a large part of which are consumables, for the global market. In this way, we preserve global supplies for food manufacturing by not destroying or wasting any other food when generating the ingredients. Applying 30 years of technical experience, we manufacture all products to high quality standards in our own low carbon footprint facilities. Instead of using chemical solvents, only water is used for its extraction, thus preserving the natural quality. We generate a large percentage of the energy we need at the same time: 100% steam energy (produced by our own biomass) and 30% electrical energy (using solar energy). We have a global presence, we export to more than 15 countries."

Dakota Gas produces four types of gaseous products at the Synfuels Plant. Synthetic natural gas and carbon dioxide are derived from the coal gasification process. Liquid nitrogen, krypton and xenon gasses are captured in the air separation process used at the facility. These gas products move into various markets and have several different transportation methods. Liquid nitrogen is used for various processes and applications such as refrigerant, prevention of igniting flammable gasses and oil drilling activities. Krypton and xenon gasses are used in windows, lighting and lasers. Dakota Gas sends carbon dioxide through a 205-mile pipeline to Canada for use in enhanced oil recovery. Synthetic natural gas, in a cleaned form, is used for feedstock of other Dakota Gas products and also is sold on the publicly traded natural gas market.
