What Edison Coatings does

Edison Coatings, Inc. is a privately-held, founder-controlled US specialty materials manufacturer headquartered in Plainville, Connecticut. Founded by Michael P. Edison (President, Chemical Engineer) approximately three decades ago, the company develops and produces over 70 proprietary products for the repair, protection, and aesthetic restoration of masonry, stone, terra cotta, and concrete in historic and contemporary buildings. The product portfolio spans cementitious and polymeric restoration materials: natural hydraulic lime mortars and grouts (E-NHL series, CE-certified to UNI EN 459 1:2010); Rosendale natural cements (10C through 16B) that reproduce 19th-century specifications; reactive acrylic RL-Series latex modifiers; custom-matched REPLIC-8 historic concrete replication systems; Custom System 45 with CastCotta terra cotta substitution (40+ year field performance record); Ruregold FRCM structural strengthening systems with ICC-ES certification; FLEXI-series 100% solids epoxies for industrial flooring; and waterborne architectural coatings (SIL-QUATHANE 222, AQUATHANE UA-210). Products are designated for commercial and industrial use only.

The company operates a sales-led, direct-distribution model: orders are placed via toll-free and local phone lines, fax, email, or an owned e-commerce online store. Pricing is largely opaque and project-specific, with custom-matched formulations quoted on a project basis alongside standardized SKUs. Revenue streams include product sales (the dominant stream), custom formulation services (REPLIC-8 and project-specific mortars), and training/education services (free continuing education courses plus paid hands-on restoration workshops for architects, engineers, conservators, and restoration trades). Edison serves architecture, engineering, and construction professionals; conservators and historic preservation specialists; restoration contractors; and facility managers, primarily in the United States with a recently established Canadian distribution presence.

Commercially, Edison Coatings sustains its market position through deep domain specialization (reproduction of historical cementitious formulations and CE/ASTM/ICC-ES certified systems), technical talent concentration (Michael Edison and Director of Technical Services Chad Lausberg with combined 50+ years tenure), an education-led demand generation motion (free CE courses, paid workshops), industry-association affiliations (SWR Institute, ICRI, APT International, ASTM International), and extensive technical documentation. The business carries no external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed acquisitions; the company is independently operated with 11-50 employees.
