Quality Powder Coating

What Quality Powder Coating does

Quality Powder Coating (QPC) is a privately held U.S. industrial finishing services company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Carrollton, Texas, with a second production facility in Conyers, Georgia. The company applies powder coatings to metal substrates for architectural, decorative, and industrial customers, producing stock and custom colors, AAMA-compliant architectural finishes (2603/2604/2605 specifications), specialty wood-grain and sublimated decorative finishes via Decoral systems, and standard industrial powder coating. QPC holds certified-applicator status with multiple major coating manufacturers — including IFS (IFS 500 FP), Tiger Drylac, PPG, Akzo Nobel, and Decoral — which broadens the catalog of chemistries and decorative capabilities available to specification-driven customers.

QPC's customer base spans commercial real estate developers, architects, general contractors, and industrial OEMs. Publicly referenced project work includes One World Trade Center, Hudson Yards, Mumbai Airport, Mall of America, Nebraska Furniture Mart, McDonald's Chicago flagship, Ala Moana Hotel, Baker Hughes, and Florida State University, indicating reach across high-rise commercial, hospitality, transit, retail, energy, and education end-markets. The company rebranded to the trade identity "QPC" in 2017 and operates a specification-oriented digital channel at specifyQPC.com aimed at architects and designers.

The business model is project-based and quote-driven: pricing is set per job rather than via standardized rate cards, and the go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting architects, designers, and general contractors during the specification phase of a build. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no public revenue figures, and headcount is reported in the 51–100 employee range. Pricing signals, the multi-state facility footprint, and the marquee project roster together imply revenue materially above a purely local job-shop scale, though the absence of financial disclosure limits precision.
