This opportunity is well-suited as a strategic acquisition for a company looking to expand its capacity in the coatings industry. Potential buyers may include existing paint manufacturers seeking additional capacity or product lines, distributors or paint supply companies looking to bring production in-house, or industrial businesses that would benefit from vertically integrating their supply chain by producing their own coatings.

Based in Louisiana, this manufacturer has been producing specialty coatings and industrial-grade paints for over 25 years. Its product lines include formulations used in construction, marine, OEM, and maintenance applications. The business serves a mix of end-users and distributors, with most sales occurring through wholesale distribution channels. The company also provides private-label manufacturing and produces custom coatings tailored to each client’s application requirements, including specific performance characteristics such as durability, corrosion resistance, and environmental compliance.

With steady demand from recurring industrial and commercial customers, the business maintains consistent revenue and profitability, selling primarily through distribution partners. The company also has customers outside the United States, offering further upside for buyers with international experience or reach. Operating at partial capacity, growth opportunities exist through improved utilization, expanded private-label relationships, geographic diversification, and increased focus on made-to-order solutions aligned with customer-specific end-use cases. Total sales for the last three years averaged $3,349,000. Seller's Discretionary Earnings were just over $300,000 last year with SDE exceeding $580,000 in 2023.
