Industrial Protective Coatings

What Industrial Protective Coatings does

Industrial Protective Coatings, Inc. (dba Anchor Bond™) is a privately held specialty manufacturer and installer of industrial protective floor coatings, founded in 1980 by Gerald and Jean Brosteau and headquartered in a single facility in De Pere, Wisconsin. The company develops and produces three proprietary product families — Anchor Bond™ (epoxy and polymer systems), Anchor Crete™ (urethane-fortified cementitious systems), and Anchor Thane™ (polyaspartic and aliphatic polyurethane coatings) — organized across laminates, mortars, primers, topcoats, specialties, and patch kits. A full-time in-house chemist (Pat Londo, also part owner since a 2005 management buyout) drives formulation, quality control, and USDA-certified product development. Products withstand operating temperatures from -50°F to +250°F and are engineered for chemical resistance, thermal shock tolerance, and slip-resistant seamless finishes in sanitary environments.

The business generates revenue through three streams: (1) sale of proprietary coating products manufactured in-house at the De Pere facility, (2) professional floor installation services delivered by IPC's own crews and a vetted recommended-contractor network across the Midwest (Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, and beyond), and (3) DIY patch kits sold directly to end users for in-house minor repairs. Pricing is quote-based across products and installation, with unit pricing on patch kits. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting engineers, architects, facility managers, and plant operators in food processing, meat packing, dairy, cheese production, canning, warehousing, and aviation hangar applications, supplemented by ISNetworld membership for safety-qualified contractor visibility.

The customer base is concentrated in large food-processing enterprises, with named logos including JBS USA, Dean Foods, John Morrell Food Group, Pinnacle Foods, and Saputo, alongside a long tail of cheese factories, canning plants, meat markets, and manufacturing facilities across the Midwest. The company has 11-50 employees and has reported recent growth in headcount and equipment (larger trucks and grinders), a new website, expanded social media presence, and the launch of a DIY patch kit product line, though it remains privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or revenue.
