OUR COMPANY
Since 1973, we have been a family-owned and operated company in Eugene, Oregon. Our founder, Scott Forrest, aimed to support customers with the best coatings lab in our region. Our collaborations with customers in the wood and gas stove industry led to the development of Stove Bright® Heat Resistant Paint. Our commitment to serving high temperature needs has earned us a niche and a global reputation as a high temperature coatings manufacturer worldwide.
Having the stability of a family-owned company not driven by financial markets, combined with the resilience and motivation of our honest, performance-based culture, our success has been driven by the belief that offering unmatched attention through face-to-face interactions is the best way to ensure everyone succeeds.

The majority of our employees live and work in Oregon in the beautiful Pacific Northwest of the United States. We value our clean rivers and support McKenzie River Trust, which preserves, restores, and stewards our watershed.
