About Us

Our mission is to provide safe, effective and affordable coatings for your medical devices, without resource depleting CDA/NDA’s, licensing fees or royalties.

Our Vision

Our vision is a medical device community where everyone requiring a coating, despite their expertise or resources, has a coating that will meet their performance needs.

• A combination of patented and non-patented product offerings,
• Packaging options, and
• Secure and fast online ordering and shipping.

This means our customers find effective solutions to their device requirements and coating needs, with ease. Products are then directly shipped to them, in less time and at a lower cost than it would normally take to even get started with all the CDA/NDA, licensing and royalty hassles, and expenses of existing industry standards.

Coatings2Go® LLC is an affiliate of Surface Solutions Labs,® Inc. Coatings2Go® has a proven track record of providing high-quality, innovative coating technologies and solutions to the medical device industry. 

Coatings2Go® Team:

Andrew Kiezulas

CEO / Chemist

Andrew brings with him a wide array of leadership, management and life experience to Coatings2Go®, LLC. While completing his Bachelor’s in Chemistry (USM) and Master’s in Policy, Planning and Management (Muskie School of Public Service), he received numerous accolades for his diverse enterprises, including Student of the Year (USM). Andrew’s leadership mark extended beyond the confines of the classroom, lab and campus. A co-author of two U.S. Senate Resolutions, Andrew collaborated on local, state and federal policy with the FDA, White House ONDCP (Office of National Drug Control Policy), U.S. Senate and U.S. Congress.

Since joining the Coatings2Go Team, he has made major contributions to all levels of the business. While managing general production, Andrew streamlined production processes, negotiated contracts and identified OFI’s in the quality system. In the last five years, he has also been a part of numerous successful projects, working closely with device engineers, chemists, quality assurance and business people. Since taking over as CEO in 2021, Andrew has solidified the overall business plan, expanded C2G’s support staff and cultivated a forward-thinking work culture. Humbled by these opportunities, empowering youth in the STEM field still inspires Andrew. He has given dozens of presentations, talks and demos, from kindergarten to college aged students and working professionals.
