About Us

Investing in Technology and Growth

Evidence of the EPS Commitment to Coatings Innovation can be seen in its investments in new technology.

Our coatings resins development and applications laboratory in Marengo, IL which is focused primarily on Acrylic Emulsions, has emphasized new products that are at the cutting edge of performance in each of the markets we serve. Over the years, we have introduced a steady stream of new products that meet or exceed the performance and regulatory criteria of the most demanding customers. We have solved difficult issues balancing performance needs with regulatory compliance in creating superior adhesion, gloss retention, block and scrub resistance, low temperature coalescence, efflorescence and blush resistance, to name a few.

The market acceptance of our state of the art technology has led to the substantial growth of our business, which over time, has doubled in sales every five years. We have supported that growth with new manufacturing sites, which offer our customers local supply throughout North America.

We continue to invest in our business in order to provide our customers with exceptional performance and service, and to better serve the coatings industry today and tomorrow.
