About Red Spot

A Century of Innovation in Coatings

Since 1903 Red Spot’s success is rooted in two fundamental market truths—listen to your customers and innovate like your life depended on it. While the market, and our customers, are finding new products and applications for our coatings on a routine basis, the attributes they demand haven’t changed—performance, function, appearance, competitiveness, quality, and availability, to name a few.

As far back as the 1940s, most of our innovation has been tied to plastic. From the time someone thought to paint this brand new material back in the 1940s, Red Spot was there, accepting the challenge and developing specialized coatings that would perform on this new material. Red Spot embraced coatings for plastic applications then, and we are still embracing this ever-changing material today.

That drive is fueled by innovation at Red Spot daily. Ask our customers. We have been and continue to be in the forefront of new coating technologies. Our customers and their customers are looking for innovation that we deliver globally in multiple cost-effective ways.

People are the key to our success. Being located in a small city in the middle of one of the largest agriculture centers in the U.S., we have a strong work ethic, and a “can do” attitude that our country was built upon. The saying, “where there’s a will, there’s a way’, could have been coined at Red Spot.

Another motto that we claim is, “under promise and over deliver”. Our customers must deliver painted parts to their customers on time, and need paint to meet their schedules. Our business model depends on our being able to satisfy our customers’ needs 24/7/365. This is what we do, and who we are.

Give us a chance, and we will show you how we perform, to the betterment of your business and customers. Innovation and performance that drops to your bottom line.
