Inland Coatings

What Inland Coatings does

Inland Coatings, founded in 1978 and headquartered in Salisbury, North Carolina, manufactures liquid-applied roof coating systems for commercial and industrial buildings across the United States and Canada. The company's core technology is a patented SEBS (Styrene Ethylene Butylene Styrene) liquid rubber chemistry, which it has expanded over time into four coating platforms: SEBS/Rubber, 100% Silicone (AldoSil), Polyurethane (AldoThane), and Acrylic (AldoCoat), supported by a complementary range of primers, sealants, cleaners, and repair products. Documented performance characteristics include 87% solar reflectance (Energy Star-rated), 997% elongation, and 595 PSI tensile strength for its flagship RC-2000 system, with warranted roof life extension of at least 10 years and claimed cost savings of over 50% versus full roof replacement. The company holds registered patents on its SEBS coating systems and operates a production/distribution facility in the central U.S. alongside its Salisbury headquarters.

Inland sells through a multi-channel go-to-market model consisting of an Authorized Applicator network, distributors, and directly employed territory managers covering all U.S. states and Western and Eastern Canada. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are routed through the 'Find Your Rep' system for project-specific quotes, with submittal packages, technical data sheets, and a project calculator used to support specification and approval workflows. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales of coatings, primers, sealants, and accessories packaged in sizes ranging from gallons to 55-gallon drums, with 10-, 15-, and 20-year warranty options tied to authorized applicator installations. End customers include building owners, facility managers, and property managers in commercial and industrial segments, as well as roofing contractors and OEMs in adjacent verticals such as RVs, trailers, and industrial piping; named case-study customers span aviation (Northwest Airlines, American Airlines), industrial (KCI Compressor), and government/municipal (City of Tacoma, City of Salt Lake, City of Richmond BC, Canadian Military Facility) markets. Inland is a privately held company with 101-250 employees and no disclosed parent company, public listing, or institutional venture capital backing beyond a recorded 2014 funding event involving Midwest Growth Partners.
