Bronz-Glow Technologies, Inc.

What Bronz-Glow Technologies, Inc. does

Bronz-Glow Technologies, Inc. is a privately held, US-based manufacturer of protective coatings for HVAC/R and related industrial equipment, founded in 1984 by Robert Haydu and currently led by President/CEO David G. Jacobs. The company designs and produces the Husky brand of proprietary single-component elastomeric polymer coatings — including Husky Coil Coat Gold, Husky Green Fin Protector, Husky 500 Primer, Husky Component Coat Platinum/Clear, and Husky Coil Guard — applied via three core methods: factory dip coating (for full interior/exterior coverage on coils over 17 fins per inch), in-house spray coating (for smaller coils), and on-site field coating delivered through a global Certified Field Applicator network spanning the US (Alabama, Florida, Hawaii, North Dakota, Texas) and seven international markets (Aruba, Curaçao, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, UAE, UK).

The company's products target corrosion from salt air, acid rain, sulfur water, ammonia fumes, chlorine vapors, and biological contaminants, while also addressing Dirty Sock Syndrome (DSS) — the foul odor from microbial growth on HVAC coils. The product line is NSF/ANSI 51 certified for non-food contact applications and includes consumer-facing DIY aerosols sold via the company's e-commerce storefront at price points from $19.99 to $125 per kit, alongside commercial/industrial coating services priced via custom quotes. Bronz-Glow also operates a Private Label program and a Distributor network, enabling third parties to sell Bronz-Glow formulations under their own branding.

Revenue is generated through five streams: (1) direct-to-consumer product sales via the website, (2) factory dip and spray coating services, (3) cabinetry and component coating services, (4) licensing/royalties via the Private Label program, and (5) recurring purchases and certification fees from the Certified Applicator Program with discount schedules based on annual sales volumes. The customer base is horizontally segmented across commercial HVAC contractors, residential homeowners and small contractors, industrial/heavy-equipment operators, government and municipal agencies, and private-label partners. Notable named customers include NYC Transit, Jacksonville Electric Authority, Ring Power, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge & Tunnel District, Alpine Air, DXAir, and Wescold Systems. Manufacturing, R&D, and headquarters operations are consolidated at a single facility in St. Augustine, Florida, with 11-50 total employees.

Broad incumbents

• Rust-Oleum Industrial: Specialty protective coatings brand covering industrial maintenance, HVAC, and contractor use cases. Overlaps with Bronz-Glow's DIY aerosols and contractor channel through broad retail and distributor distribution.
• DiversiTech: HVAC/R parts, accessories, and chemicals supplier to contractors. Overlaps with Bronz-Glow's DIY and contractor channels, particularly for coil cleaners and protective accessories sold through distribution.
• Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine: Largest North American coatings company with strong industrial and protective coatings portfolio. Competes in adjacent categories (industrial maintenance, marine, infrastructure) where Bronz-Glow's products could be substituted.
• Carrier Global: One of the largest HVAC OEMs worldwide. A core buyer/influencer of HVAC coil coatings for factory and field applications and competes indirectly via its own coil protection specifications.
• Modine Manufacturing: Global HVAC OEM and heat-transfer manufacturer whose products are commonly Bronz-Glow's coating subjects (e.g., coils specified by JEA, Wescold). Operates broadly across HVAC, refrigeration, and data center cooling.
• PPG Industries: Global paints and coatings giant (industrial, protective, marine). Competes broadly in industrial protective coatings and could enter or expand the HVAC coil coating category with greater resources.
• Trane Technologies: Major HVAC OEM (Trane, American Standard); Bronz-Glow has a direct applicator relationship with Trane Mexico. Trane's installed base drives significant demand for retrofit coil coatings in harsh environments.
• AAON: HVAC OEM specializing in high-performance rooftop units, often specified for coastal/industrial environments where corrosion protection is critical. Indirect competitor and a potential OEM coating partner.

Emerging players

• Industrial Nanotech: Specialty nanotech-based protective and corrosion-resistant coatings for industrial and HVAC use cases. Competes at the innovation edge with a different chemistry approach but similar target applications.

Direct peers

• Heresite Protective Coatings: Manufacturer of HVAC/R and industrial protective coatings (Heresite VR-500 series). Closest direct peer to Bronz-Glow's Husky brand, competing head-to-head in coil coatings for corrosion and DSS prevention.
