Industrial Coatings

From 1976 to Today: 50 Years of Formulating the Right Mix

For 50 years, The Protech Group has been shaping the future of industrial coatings through innovation, expertise, and a commitment to quality. What began in 1976 as a small, family-owned business in Montréal has grown into a global organization. Today, it serves customers across North America, Europe, and beyond. This milestone marks not only the passage of time. It also shows how the company has continually adapted to meet the needs of a changing industry.

50 Years Strong: Innovation, Growth, and Global Impact

Over the decades, The Protech Group has grown to offer a comprehensive portfolio of solutions. These include thermoset powder coatings, thermoplastic coatings, industrial liquid coatings, architectural paints, and specialty polymer materials. With a strong network of manufacturing and distribution facilities and a diverse team of experts, the company continues to deliver high-performance solutions. These are tailored to a wide range of applications and industries.

Reaching this 50-year milestone is a testament to the people behind the company—employees, partners, and customers—who have contributed to its success. Guided by a shared commitment to innovation and excellence, The Protech Group remains focused on the future. In addition, it continues to develop advanced coating technologies that combine performance, durability, and sustainability.

As we celebrate this important anniversary, we look ahead with the same vision that has driven us from the beginning: to formulate the right mix of technology, expertise, and service. The journey continues. The next chapter promises even greater opportunities for growth and innovation.

This anniversary year will also be marked by a series of special initiatives across The Protech Group. We are proud to celebrate this milestone with our employees through dedicated programs and events. These will take place across all our divisions worldwide. In addition, a range of marketing activities—including LinkedIn campaigns and digital storytelling—will highlight our journey, our people, and the innovations that have defined the past 50 years.
