How does a Nova Scotia-based startup go from university lab to serving over 600 vessels worldwide? In Episode 10 of the EMC Factory Focus Podcast, host Jason Bates sits down with Mark Kotzer, P.Eng, MBA, COO of GIT Coatings — a graphene-based, biocide-free marine coating company that's helping ship owners reduce fuel consumption, lower CO₂ emissions, and protect our oceans from harmful pollutants. From innovation and sustainability to leadership, workforce development, and exporting Canadian manufacturing to global markets — this conversation offers something for every manufacturer looking to grow beyond borders. Plus, EMC's Nova Scotia Manufacturing Consortium Manager Deanna McDonald shares updates on Atlantic Canada's manufacturing sector. Tune in: hubs.li/Q04jZBlN0

It was inspiring to get a sense of the accelerating success being achieved by @gitcoatings. Their team tracks, in real time, the GHG emission reductions resulting from the use of their propeller and hull coating on hundreds of ships around the globe — it was incredibly eye opening! Tremendous global sales growth!
This week, we were honoured to host Canadian Senator @colindeacon at GIT Coatings HQ in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada! 🍁 Thank you, Senator Deacon, for taking the time to visit us and learn more about our global impact! #Sustainability #Innovation #GlobalImpact @SenateCA
