Against the diverse backdrop of two continents, four industrial pioneers crafted the innovations that would underlie today's coatings industry.
FULLER
In North America, William Fuller began marketing paints and oils.
O'BRIEN
Patrick O'Brien redefined painting horseless carriages.
HERBERTS
Across the ocean, Otto Louis Herberts was on a similar course, shaping the coatings industry of Europe and E.I. duPont de Nemours expanded from gunpowder manufacturer into the huge chemical conglomerate that it is today. Over the past 30 years, acquisitions and mergers linked the legacies of DuPont, O'Brien and Herberts into a single company.
DUPONT PERFORMANCE COATINGS
That combined legacy represents the history---and the future---of the coatings industry: DuPont Performance Coatings, one of the world's foremost suppliers of automotive, industrial and powder coatings.
DUPONT POWDER COATINGS USA
Reflecting the early vision of O'Brien and Herberts and representing an integral component of the new company is DuPont Powder Coatings. One of the world's largest suppliers of industrial thermoset powder coatings, DuPont Powder Coatings has sixteen independent companies and fifteen research and development laboratories in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
DuPont Powder Coatings USA is one of the leading North American powder coatings manufacturers, and is the industry leader in high-quality thermoset decorative and functional pipe coatings.
