Titan Coatings

What Titan Coatings does

Titan Coatings, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned protective coatings manufacturer founded in 1989 and operated for five generations, headquartered in Bessemer, Alabama. The company develops and produces high-performance coatings for metal substrates, organized into three product families: coil coatings (Elite PVDF, UltraDure XD-40, SuperDure XD-30, AcryliDure, ArmorGuard XD-20/HD/ZT), aluminum extrusion coatings (AlumaBond HS/MS/FX, AlumaMax SC/DC), and specialty coatings (TransGuard for transportation, PowerFoil BP/DE for foil insulation). Underlying the portfolio is a proprietary resin technology base, with products engineered to meet FGIA/AAMA 2603-2605 specifications, PACCAR approval, and ISO 9001 quality standards, using chemistries such as 70% PVDF systems, silicone modified polyesters, super durable polyesters, and water-based epoxies.

The company serves OEM manufacturers and building product companies across construction (roofing, siding, garage doors, appliances, lighting encasements), aluminum extrusion (windows, architectural framing, rails, store fronts, trailers), transportation (truck and trailer undercarriage, shocks, struts, axles, air brakes), and specialty foil insulation markets. Named customers include PACCAR, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Volvo, Costco, Home Depot, Hubbell, Lithonia, USG, Amarr Entrematic, and Dow Chemical.

Titan operates a sales-led, quote-based B2B distribution model with direct manufacturer relationships and multi-year contracts. Products are sold as proprietary coating systems rather than commodities, with custom color matching and formulation development offered as a service differentiator. The company employs 11-50 people, operates from a single state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, and confines its geographic footprint to the United States, with no disclosed overseas expansion, external funding, or M&A activity.

Core offering

Titan Coatings manufactures high-performance protective coatings for metal substrates, organized across three core product lines: coil coatings for metal building products, aluminum extrusion coatings for architectural applications, and specialty coatings for transportation and foil applications. The company develops proprietary resin technologies and formulates coating systems (PVDF, SMP, polyester, water-based epoxy) sold directly to OEM manufacturers and building product companies for use in roofing, siding, garage doors, windows, truck undercarriages, and insulation boards.

Product overview

Titan Coatings offers a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance protective coatings organized across three core product lines: Coil Coatings (including Elite PVDF, UltraDure XD-40, SuperDure XD-30, AcryliDure, ArmorGuard XD-20, ArmorGuard HD, and ArmorGuard ZT), Extrusion Coatings (including AlumaBond HS/MS/FX and AlumaMax SC/DC systems), and Specialty Coatings (including TransGuard and PowerFoil BP/DE). The company's focus is on coil coating, aluminum extrusion, transportation coatings, and specialty foil coatings for construction, industrial, transportation, and general industrial markets. Their proprietary resin technologies and high-performing paint systems are engineered for exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, flexibility, and long-term color retention across demanding applications.
