Refinish Solutions Group FOR THE BEST FINISH, GET THE BEST START. For more than 50 years, the American name has been recognized for innovative and high-quality tape. Proudly made in the USA by Intertape Polymer Group, American brand tapes are engineered from quality materials designed to withstand heat, solvents and waterborne materials typical of refinishing operations. THE RIGHT WAY TO FINISH. In 1888, physician Dr. Allen DeVilbiss combined a bulb, some tubing, and an oil can base to create the first atomizer for health care. The design was adapted in 1907 to create a spray gun to meet the challenges of spray finishing in early automotive assembly plants. Today, DeVilbiss still leads the way in coatings application technologies, utilizing the same design tools employed by NASA in creating the combustion system for the space shuttle. DISCOVER THE DYNABRADE DIFFERENCE. During a sales call in 1969, Walter Welsh, Dynabrade s president and founder, noticed a worker struggling to file the grill of a jukebox by hand. This inspired the first narrow abrasive tool and the start of Dynabrade. Dynabrade proudly manufactures its tools in the USA from high quality, durable materials allowing them to provide and an exclusive lifetime warranty on all air tools. You can spend less money on an imported tool but will have higher total cost with replacements and lower productivity. CRASH TESTED. OEM APPROVED.

Your Productivity Partner THERE S NO SHINE LIKE MOTHERS. Mothers started in 1971 when tire dealer, Al Holloway, and a chemist friend invented a polish to remove oxidation from that era s then-new mag wheels. It was an instant hit with car enthusiasts. And the business blossomed from that single item to a comprehensive line of more than 40 new-appearance care products on the market today. Still owned and operated by the Holloway family, the company has pioneered new appearance car technologies based on its passion for painstaking research and superior quality.
