ST. LOUIS, MO – July 14, 2016 – Accella Polyurethane Systems (Accella), a leading manufacturer of polyurethane systems, has formally announced a comprehensive investment strategy based on the Bullet Liner™ brand, a leading manufacturer of polyurethane spray-on coating for the transportation industry. Bullet Liner utilizes advanced chemistry and seasoned ingenuity to deliver the highest level of scratch, scuff, color fastness, and puncture resistance for truck bed liners, ATV and jeep exteriors, fenders, tailgates, wheel wells, and other applications. Available also for boats and commercial truck use, Bullet Liner’s spray-on liner forms a sealed finish that provides robust protection against even the most rugged abrasion and extreme environmental conditions.

Accella is investing further to advance this technology leadership; now a 4th generation coating system and will include further coating innovation, branding partnerships, doubling the number of installer’s nationwide as well as advanced demand and lead generation tools to support the installer network.
“Accella is making targeted investments in a series of polyurethane markets where we are the best choice for the customer, and our recent decision to support the Bullet Liner brand is an example of that strategy. Polyurea spray-on technology is the industry gold-standard for protecting truck beds and other heavy duty parts,” said Andy Harris, President and CEO of Accella Performance Materials, “and Accella is a leader in polyurethane coating research, development and manufacturing. For this reason, we believe that Accella’s pioneering role in the advancement of custom-formulated polyurethane systems is truly the ‘perfect match’ to build on Bullet Liner’s existing heritage of spray and sealant innovation. We’re thrilled to accelerate our investment in Bullet Liner brands and products.”
