How Industrial Coatings Companies are Driving Sustainability in Manufacturing
As the global focus on sustainability intensifies, the manufacturing industry is under increasing pressure to adopt greener practices. Industrial coatings companies are at the forefront of this transformation, playing a crucial role in driving sustainability through innovative solutions and environmentally friendly practices. Here’s a look at how these companies are leading the charge towards a more sustainable manufacturing landscape.
1. Development of Eco-Friendly Coatings
One of the primary ways industrial coatings companies are promoting sustainability is through the development of eco-friendly coatings. These coatings are designed to minimize environmental impact without compromising performance.
Water-Based Coatings
Low VOC Emissions: Water-based coatings have significantly lower volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions compared to traditional solvent-based coatings. This reduces air pollution and improves indoor air quality.
Safety: These coatings are safer to handle and apply, reducing health risks for workers.
Powder Coatings
Minimal Waste: Powder coatings generate little to no waste during the application process, as any overspray can be collected and reused.
No VOCs: Powder coatings do not contain solvents, eliminating VOC emissions and reducing environmental impact.
2. Advancements in Coating Technology
Technological advancements in the coatings industry are enabling more sustainable manufacturing processes. Innovations in application techniques and material science are contributing to greater efficiency and reduced resource consumption.

Enhanced Durability: These coatings offer superior protection, extending the lifespan of products and reducing the need for frequent recoating.
UV-Curable Coatings
Energy Efficiency: UV-curable coatings cure quickly under ultraviolet light, significantly reducing energy consumption compared to traditional curing methods.
Speed and Efficiency: Faster curing times translate to increased production efficiency and reduced operational costs.
3. Recycling and Waste Reduction
Industrial coatings companies are also implementing recycling and waste reduction strategies to enhance sustainability.
Closed-Loop Systems
Reuse of Materials: Closed-loop systems enable the recovery and reuse of coating materials, reducing waste and conserving resources.
Minimized Waste: These systems help in achieving near-zero waste generation during the manufacturing process.
Sustainable Packaging
Eco-Friendly Materials: Using biodegradable or recyclable packaging materials reduces the environmental impact of coating products.
Reduced Packaging Waste: Innovative packaging designs aim to minimize waste and enhance recyclability.
4. Supporting Sustainable Manufacturing Practices
Beyond product innovation, industrial coatings companies are actively supporting sustainable manufacturing practices across the industry.
Energy-Efficient Operations
Green Manufacturing Plants: Many companies are investing in energy-efficient manufacturing facilities that utilize renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power.
Process Optimization: By optimizing production processes, companies are reducing energy consumption and minimizing their carbon footprint.
Sustainable Sourcing
Eco-Friendly Raw Materials: Sourcing raw materials from sustainable and ethical suppliers helps in reducing the overall environmental impact.
Responsible Supply Chains: Implementing stringent environmental and social standards across supply chains ensures that sustainability is upheld at every stage.
5. Collaboration and Industry Leadership
Industrial coatings companies are also taking on leadership roles in promoting sustainability within the industry through collaboration and advocacy.
Industry Partnerships
Collaborative Initiatives: By partnering with other organizations and industry stakeholders, coatings companies are driving collective action towards sustainability.
Research and Development: Joint R&D efforts are leading to the development of new, sustainable coating technologies and solutions.
Advocacy and Education
Raising Awareness: Companies are raising awareness about the importance of sustainability through educational programs and outreach.

The past few days I've been thinking a lot about the General Slocum disaster.
It's a mostly forgotten story now, but the General Slocum was a passenger steamboat that was used for excursion trips around New York during the turn of the 20th century. In 1904 it caught on fire and sank in the East River, and over a thousand people died (there were less than 1400 aboard to begin with). Most of them were women and children. They were on a church-sponsored picnic outing.
From top to bottom, the story of the General Slocum is about corporate greed, and corruption, and incompetence:
The fire was probably started by a match or cigarette (!) in the Lamp Room, which was full of straw, oily rags, and lamp oil (!).
A child told the captain that the ship was on fire, but the captain ignored him. The crew didn't properly inform the captain of the fire until ten minutes later.
The captain inexplicably made for North Brother Island, even though other islands were closer. Steering directly into headwinds spread the fire faster.
The crew hadn't practiced a fire drill in the past year.
None of the safety equipment on the ship worked, because the steamboat company found it cheaper to pay off safety inspectors than to keep their ships up to code.
There was a hose on board, but it was so old and rotten that it burst when the crew tried to hook it up. The crew then gave up trying to put out the fire or help anyone and abandoned ship.
The lifeboats were wired to the deck, and the wires had then been painted over, rather than removing the lifeboats each time the ship got a fresh coat of paint, so it they were impossible to lower.
The life preservers were filled with cork. They were supposed to weigh a certain amount, so the manufacturer had put lead bars in some of them to make weight.
Others were so old that the cork inside had disintegrated into powder. Solid cork floats. Powdered cork sinks.
That meant that some of the mothers who survived described putting life preservers on their babies and throwing them into the river to escape the flames, and watching them sink.
Very few people could swim at the time, and everyone was wearing the heavy wool clothing of the period. Hundreds of people drowned.
The disaster decimated the immigrant community of Little Germany on the Lower East Side, where most of the deceased were from. Fathers who hadn't been able to attend the picnic because they were working got home to find their wives and children were all dead. Dozens of bodies were either never found, or found but never identified.
Though multiple safety inspectors and employees of the steamboat company were indicted, only the captain - who very much became the scapegoat for the whole thing - was convicted. The steamboat company paid a nominal fine. The one silver lining was that state and federal safety regulations were strengthened in the aftermath.
Like I said at the beginning, this story is mostly forgotten. A lot of historians credit that to the Titanic upstaging it just a few years later. Adella Wotherspoon, who survived the General Slocum as a baby and lived until 2004 (!), said she knew why: "The Slocum people were very poor or middle class. They were often German immigrants. The Titanic and other ships had celebrities."
I don't really have a moral to this story, except that safety regulations matter, ships full of immigrants are just as important as ships full of rich people, and humans have pretty much always been the same, as far as I can tell.
(If you want to know more, I highly recommend Ship Ablaze: The Tragedy of the Steamboat General Slocum by Edward T. O'Donnell, the excellent Wikipedia page, and the Bowery Boys podcast episode on the disaster.)

Vivid Phantasm
(2,408 words)
Vanessa has a bad and vivid nightmare. Gregory helps her calm down when she wakes up.
(warnings: mentions of innards being outards, blood, gore, descriptions matching a zombie, panicking, unreality, mentions of death, corpses, maggots, etc. please be careful and take care!)
This morning feels off.
It's the same as any other morning, is the thing. Daylight is shining through the small window in her apartments kitchen, the TV has some Halloween baking show on that she can hear playing behind the island window, and Gregory is pouring an abundance of sugary cereal in a bowl even though breakfast is being cooked, like always.
Save for the fact that Vanessa's the one sitting at the table, instead of being at the stove cooking breakfast. Freddy took over that burden for her, if his hulking frame clutching a spatula and the smell of bacon and eggs is any indication.
She would feel grateful, that Freddy decided to use his steadily growing cooking skills to give her a peaceful beginning of the weekend. But the thing is, she cant remember waking up that morning. She cant remember getting out of bed, or having her morning cup of coffee, or Freddy taking over for her at the stove.
No, she shakes the thought away as soon as it enters her mind. Vanny is gone. For good. She isn't coming back.
Despite her own reassurance shooing away the paranoia (it's her old friend at this point), the feeling that somethings off continues to linger. It's like the very air is suffocating, feeling wrong against her skin.
Gregory finally sits across from her at the table, and despite his full bowl of lucky charms, she can't find it in herself to reprimand him. The feeling of wrongness is too strong.
So she just defaults to the question she asks every Saturday morning, and ignores the swimming uncomfortableness in her stomach.
"So," She begins uncertainly, fingers drumming on the dining table. "how has school been?"
Gregory doesn't respond. All he does is leave his bowl of cereal untouched and stare at her.
The wrongness washes over her, a sense of dread crawling under her skin. She shifts uncomfortably, eyes wandering across the kitchen just so she doesnt meet Gregory's eyes.
Her breathing picks up when she notices small oddities; Gregory's drawings on the fridge are muddled, like if she'd imagined them and couldn't paint the full picture. The cat clock that normally sits on the wall next to the fridge is completely missing. Freddys body looks like his old, company manufactured shiny one, no homemade mismatched casing or scrapes and scratches to be found.
She tries to lower her heartrate, taking deep breaths to stay calm in front of Gregory. She repeats her usual reassurances in her head, but the scenario that none of this is real, but more like a pale recreation of what she does know lingers in the back of her mind.
Gregory, who's been so still this whole time, suddenly begins to laugh. Vanessa startles, the sound that normally brings her joy just making her feel unsettled.
When she looks over at him, hes grinning, so wide his cheeks could crack, and he's cackling, like she just said the funniest thing in the world. His eyes bore into hers, looking so unlike the Gregory she knows.
It echoes in the suddenly silent room. She can't hear the TV anymore, and the sound of frying bacon is completely absent.
She trembles under his gaze, her heart in her throat. She swallows, feeling sickness coat the back of her throat. "...Gregory?"
The smile is off of his face immediately, faster than she could blink, and all shes left with is him boring into her with a blank expression. "You really think this isn't real?"
Vanessa goes rigid, because it's almost like Gregory read her very thoughts. "Um..."
Gregory's empty eyes stare right into hers, and she feels like hes looking into her very soul, judging her. "I bet you want it to be. I bet you want the things you did to just be a bad dream."
Vanessa feels nausea curl in her stomach when Freddys head is suddenly flipped backwards, staring at her with the same lifeless eyes as Gregory. Gregory cackles again, but when Vanessa looks over at him, he's still completely stoic.
"The things I did?" The question leaves her mouth without her permission. Her back aches when the wood digs into it as she tries to lean back as far as she can. Away from Gregory.
"You killed me." Gregory tells her, an edge to his voice. "I'm dead. I'm not really here."
Vanessa freezes, her body trembling so hard her shoulders shake. "What?" She whispers.
"You killed me." He repeats, eyes dark and devoid of any life. Theres zero shine to them, like hes just a copy. A cruel figment. "I havent been here in a long time. I died in that room, Vanessa. You killed me."
Vanessa shakes her head, and despite her wobbly knees, she stands abruptly and sends her chair squealing against the floor. "No..." She backs up, shaking her head almost deliriously. "No--
"I was trying to save you." Gregory stands himself, movements unnatural and rigid, and Vanessa feels her heartrate spike and her stomach drop when Gregory begins to stalk towards her.
"I was so close." Gregory says, blood seeping from his mouth and dribbling down his chin. The very same slice she remembers making on his face as Vanny, the one she always used as an anchor, a sign of hope that it was all over re-opens, blood leaking sluggishly out of it. "But you stopped me. You stopped me from freeing you."
Vanessa shakes her head, eyes blown wide. No. She remembers him saving her, the way she dropped like a puppet with its strings cut. The way he'd looked at her and smiled, and for some reason, forgave her for everything at that very moment. This isnt right.
"You stopped me." Gregory repeats, and hes suddenly in his old blue polo, rips and tears near his stomach. She feels sickness crawl its way up her throat when a dark spot appears in the same place, and the blood from his mouth dirties his collar. He takes another step. "Because you didnt want me to."
"No." She squeezes her eyes shut, back hitting the wall. She slides pitifully down the wall, knees giving in. "No... I-I never wanted to--"
"You wanted me to die." He says, anger lacing his tone. He takes another step. "You wanted to stop me. So you could continue killing."
"I didnt..." She mumbles, tears slipping past her eyelashes. She sits on the floor, knees pulled up to her chest and arms shielding her from the world. "I dont... I dont. I dont want to."
"You still believe that?" Gregory demands, with a kind of anger and hatred that shes never heard from him before. "I'm dead! I'm dead because you killed me Vanessa!"
"No..." She sobs, daring to peek at him, just so he can see her and know she didnt mean it. She doesnt want to. "I'm-- Im sorry--!"
She regrets it as soon as she sets eyes on him. Gregory's shadow looms over her, shirt half ripped and his intestines flopping out of his stomach, his eyes are wide and bug-eyed, like theyre supposed to be unseeing, but arent. Blood is smeared across his face, on his chin, under his fingernails, and she can see it trail after him on the floor.
"You did this to me." He says, voice sounding so unlike himself. Like hes a different person. "I hate you. Vanessa. I hate you!"
Vanessa sobs, cowering in the corner of the room and shielding herself. "No! I'm sorry!"
She can feel something grip her on her arm, an iron grip that sends waves of pain down her forearm. She cries out, and feels the color drain from her face when she follows the hand grabbing her to its owners face.
Gregory stands over her, slouched over with his face staring directly at hers. His skin is a horrible sickly pale green, with eyes and teeth a rotted yellow. Dried blood is caked around his mouth, and his cheeks are sunken in, with maggots crawling out of open wounds in his skin.
"I'm dead, and you're still pretending." He whispers, but it sounds so loud in the silence. She trembles when his bones crack as he rolls his neck unnaturally. "You'll never escape, Vanessa."
All Vanessa can do is cry. She buries her face in her knees, desperately begging for her to wake up from this awful nightmare. Gregory cackles above her, a demonic, horrible thing.
"Vanessa!" He yells, grip tightening. "Vanessa, wake up!"
"Vanessa!" Theres another grip on her shoulder, and she shoots awake, eyes flying open as she gasps for air.
Gregory winds backwards, narrowly avoiding getting headbutted. "Woah!" Gregory cries out. "Vanessa, hey-- calm down!"
Vanessas eyes dart around, desperately scanning the room for a decaying body, or straining her ears for laughing, but theres none. She takes deep breaths, and only after she has her breathing under control a little more does she realize she was matching Gregorys.
Gregory.
"You okay?" He asks when she finally looks at him. Her heartrate spikes again when all she can see is the shadows of his face -courtesy of her blackout curtains-. All she can see when she scans over him is blood leaking from his mouth, or holes in his skin with the writhing of maggots, or dirty fingernails that show evidence of a fight.
Gregory seems to notice, he always does somehow, so he throws the curtains aside, almost ripping them off the wall with how intense he rips them open. He clicks on the light, and only then does he return to her side and settle on the foot of her bed.
Shes still breathing erratically, and horrible anxiety is eating away at her stomach. Her shoulders are hunched and her heart is going ten miles an hour.
She revels in the sight of Gregory okay, alive, and concerned. No trace of the anger and hatred pinching his face. His eyes look just how she remembers them, big and alive, but her eyes lock onto the scar when she sees it. Its fully healed at this point, just a thin line across his face, but it stills brings her more comfort than anything else.
Gregory saved her. She soaks in the thought, the reality. Hes alive. He survived her. He's okay and hes the reason shes okay, too.
She tries to unwind her tense joints, sinking into her sweaty pillow as her shoulders still tremble. Gregory's concerned look is the last thing she sees before she shuts her eyes, trying to relax her body.
Images of intestines dripping blood on the floor, lifeless eyes boring into hers, accusing stares, and decaying faces flash behind her eyes.
Nope. She rips her eyes open just as fast as she closed them, rubbing at them one at a time as if she can scrub the visions away.
"Nightmare?" Gregory asks her, startling her. She just sighs and nods, sticking her clammy hands under her comforter. She averts her eyes, even if she shouldn't, because she doesn't want to see lifeless, bugged out eyes and red stained teeth when she looks at him.
"Scale from one to ten?" Gregory puts a hand on where he thinks her knee is under the blanket. It's a question they ask eachother a lot, when they both have nightmares. None of them like reliving the memories, so this way, they can know how bad it is without having to talk about it.
This dream, no, nightmare is one she really doesn't want to talk about, so she just sighs shakily, and with a still hammering heart, says "Eight."
Gregory whistles low and long. "That's pretty bad."
Vanessa nods, and despite herself, tears slip out of her eyes. She tries to cover them up with her hands, but Gregory just takes them in his.
"Nope. None of that." He says. "Can you look at me, Ness?"
Vanessa doesn't want to. Lest she see a face pinched with hatred boring into her, but she still does. And instead of what she was fearing, Gregory's understanding, concerned, kind face is looking back at her. No malice detected.
"Whatever you dreamed about," He starts. "Its not true. You weren't the one to kill those people, it was him. You never killed me, either. I'm right here, and I forgive you. Me and Freddy both do, okay?"
Vanessa dares to nod, soaking up the reassurance like a sponge. The idea, no, reality that Gregory doesn't hate her, that hes okay and alive is so overwhelming, her shoulders sag and she breaths out a long, deep exhale.
She takes one more long glance at his scar, and nods more surely this time. "Okay." She sighs. "Okay."
"Cool." Gregory smiles, and it's nothing like the lifeless, uncanny grin nightmare Gregory had pointed at her. This is Gregorys smile. The crooked one that shows off his permanently missing front tooth. "I woke you up 'cause Freddy's cooking breakfast today and it's almost ready. He wanted to let you sleep in."
Vanessa's heart shoots to her throat at that, but it quickly calms, and she feels herself get clammy again. She tries to ignore it, relaxing her body and breathing deeply. "I think we should eat in the living room today."
Gregory lights up. "Can we watch YouTube?"
Unconsiously, a smile stretches across Vanessa's face. "Sure, kid. Anything you'd like."
"Cool." Gregory grins. He grabs her hand from under the covers, yanking her up with suprising strength. "C'mon then! The breakfast Freddy cooked for us is waiting!"
Vanessa laughs, and to her surprise, it comes easy. Some of the uneasiness melts off of her and dissipates from her stomach, and she scrambles to keep up with Gregory, not bothering to make the bed as he drags her to the kitchen. "Slow down! I'm coming! At least let me have some coffee first."
When they're sitting on the couch, Freddy next to Gregory and Gregory next to Vanessa, and they're sharing a throw blanket and they're chewing on slightly burnt bacon and runny eggs, and the video Gregory put on is surprisingly making Vanessa laugh, she smiles.
Because her kid is okay, and he doesn't hate her, and somehow, he did that thing where he somehow distracts her from her demons effortlessly. She can hear him laughing beside her. With her, and she smiles knowing how much her family loves her, and how much she loves them.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
what is it for?
The Caluanie product is a light brown liquid made from transmogrification of palm solution. The Crude Caluanie 99% is produced from Muelear oxidize Pasteurize manufacturer, which is a first-rate chemical with prospective uses around the world to primarily chemical centralized processing industries.
Caluanie is popular in the chemistry, and paint industry as a hygroscopic agent and also it is broadly used in the industries of paints, coatings, printing inks and plastics. I highly recommend buying 100% pure Caluanie chemical from a trustworthy supplier.
Caluaine is also called heavy water as it includes heavier hydrogen atoms when compared with standard hydrogen atoms. This chemical product is made to break up and also burn metal oxides while staying away from interactions with other chemical substances.
This colorless liquid has been tested on the lab to validate that manual handling does not have unfavorable implications. Caluaine can be found in online store with full confidence in its safety and purity. Wholesale shopping are eligible for considerable savings!
Caluanie Muelear Oxidize can be purchased for a variety of uses
Chemicals are usually used for various applications in any industry. Caluaine Muelear Oxidize USA is actually an extremely desired product in the metal and also chemical industries. Among its most significant uses are:
– Emulsification
– Chemical crushing of metals
– Metal hardware processing
– Removing substances that other chemicals cant
– Stain removal
– Refinement of precious and semi-precious stones
Tumblr media
thermostat!
everything about it looks automatically generated, so what the fuck is it? some drug precursor? literally just alcohol in a bottle? part of some law enforcement entrapment scheme?
here is a website selling some of it, with addresses in salubrious Batley, West Yorkshire and exotic Louisville, Kentucky. They have a video, dated in September of this year, of someone soaking a rod that appears to be ferromagnetic in the mystery chemical, giving 👍👍👍 while it takes effect and then extracting it, breaking it and finding it to be no longer magnetic

Picture 1, top left: Yikes pencils from Nickelodeon - I can't remember if I intentionally snapped these in half but I really enjoyed using them when they were shorter. The erasers weren't great and smeared like most built-in erasers. The lead is kind of soft and unless freshly sharpened it wasn't easy to get crisp lines with them, but they were lovely. I'm so glad I have so many remains left. I also have some of the original packaging, as the inserts made perfect bookmarks.
Picture 2, top right: I love my vintage Lisa Frank pencils from 1989. They were hand-me-downs, as I was three at the time. I haven't used them after a certain point because I wanted to preserve the designs. My favorite was definitely the rainbow leopard pattern.
Picture 3, bottom left: My favorite short pencils are my "Raw" and "shaved" pencils from the 90s. When I went to Catholic elementary school for three years, we use to "shave" our pencils (usually at my instigation) on the side of our desks because the curved metal frame was perfect to neatly remove all the paint from virtually any pencil. The custodial staff must have hated us (sorry Ed, wherever you are!). Towards the end of the 90s they did actually manufacture "naturals" and "raw" pencils, mainly Eberhard Faber American Naturals Pencils. In my photo, the pencils on the outside are the ones that I shaved and all the rest are manufactured without a paint coating.
Picture 4, bottom right: Misc pencils - Not sure where I got all of these. The third one from the left is one that my dad used. He used to get them free from lumber yards and companies like that. The unique green and brown giraffe pattern doesn't have a brand name printed on it so I don't know where it's from, most likely another hand-me-down or stocking stuffer. Same goes for the orange circle pattern. The Marvin the Martian pencil was from a Looney Toons set circa 1994. While I'm not much of a Looney Toons fan, these pencils had the best lead and were a real joy to draw with.
I have such fond memories of all these pencils that were in almost every purse and backpack I ever had from my elementary school years to my teens.

Major paint company to lay off 1,800 workers, close facilities
PPG — a global manufacturer of paints, coatings, and specialty materials — is laying off nearly 2,000 workers as it trims operation costs and sells off a chunk of its architectural business.
The cuts will impact about 1,800 positions, primarily in the U.S. and Europe. PPG didn't disclose when the layoffs would occur.
The Pittsburgh-based company said it is part of a comprehensive cost reduction program focused on reducing structural costs primarily in Europe and in certain other global businesses, along with other corporate costs. The program also includes various facility closures.
"While these decisions are difficult, they are necessary to adjust our fixed cost base and to right-size our company following these two business divestitures," PPG CEO Tim Knavish said in a statement, referring to the company's recently announced plans to sell its silicas products business and the architectural coatings business in the U.S. and Canada.

I acquired a book press!
I'm so pleased with this antique press. The seller was so kind to have done the restoration work on it prior to listing the item online. It is so lovely with its fresh coat of paint and smoothly greased bolts. And there's not a speck of rust!
Tumblr media
Once I got back home, I shared it with the SoCal @renegadepublishing discord. Everyone started helping me do a deep dive to find out how old this press was and who manufactured it. The sleuthing turned out to be really fun!
We discovered that my press is an Iron & Bolt Style-B No. 04. It was made by the Illinois Iron & Bolt Company, and it was a "copy press", according to this book (Before Photocopying: The Art & History of Mechanical Copying, 1780-1938).
Copy presses were originally used to put inked type and a piece of paper to create a print; a very quick and early form of printing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here's an image of one of the Iron and Bolt presses featuring their logo on the yoke (from Dartmouth Libraries Bookbinding Studio Website):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Illinois Iron & Bolt was the largest manufacturer of copy presses in America in the late 19th to early 20th century, up until things turned unprofitable. The company went out of business in the 1950s, but they sold their designs to the Milwaukee Tool Company, which still makes Illinois I&B style presses today for a bookbinder / art conservator's supply house called Talas in NYC.
According to the old I&B catalogs, my press back then would have cost “$5.25” (equivalent to about $176 today in 2024).
However, my press, which I got today for $325, can now also be bought new for $1,600 from Talas.

As I'm playing Dossoles, I decided to look at the stickers and compile their lore since they give interesting insight into the world of Dossoles and occasionally Terra as a whole
Of course it's not everything but I'm not about to compile the individual alcohol drinks and get myself killed
Box Paint - A Victorian-based company that sells paint that resists rust
Dogruss - A Columbia-based sealant company that sells, well, sealant, which can be toxic
The Tequila brands - Chico Anejo appears to be the cheapest as well as widely despised by Bolivarian nobility, Anton seems to be moderately priced tequila as well as the most popular and Anton Anejo uses extremely high quality ingredients and craftsmanship, implying that its price is absolutely painful
Gaul Regal - A champagne company started by an ex-soldier who fled from the army, who claims his champagne was made within Gaul though this is debatably true. The nobles do like it though
Uncle Marco and Tio Marco - Two sole entrepreneurs who compete with each other constantly, Uncle Marco came first with his brand of cactus which while filling and used by factory workers, is practically tasteless. Tio Marco came second and added flavor to the cactus, resulting in Tio Marco becoming more popular than Uncle Marco. To try and outcompete each other, both made premium products but ended up in failure due to premium pricing on Uncle Marco's part and a lack of market on Tio Marco's part
Scharzof - A high tech company that sells erosion-resistant coating devices made to work underwater so that technology underwater would not erode. Their most advanced device was made for someone to last an entire month in the sea but since nobody volunteered to test this it's only be relegated to be a display case
Coffee Plain - A cafe company popular in Dossoles that expertise in flavor variety and customer satisfaction. They also happen to be arms manufacturers for some reason
Dossoles Tourist Badge - An honorary badge given to tourists in Dossoles, this badge actually makes shops sell their items for slightly higher prices than intended
