Our Story
Founded in 1983, Progressive Coating was born out of a desire to provide high-quality coating solutions to local metal manufacturing companies in the Chicago area. Over the years, we have continued to evolve and adapt to the ever-changing needs of our customers and the industry as a whole. In 2006, ownership changed, and Stephen Walters took the reins, bringing a renewed focus on all aspects of the business. This marked a significant turning point in our history, as we invested in new equipment, expanded our workforce, and upgraded our infrastructure to support continued growth and profitability.

As a company, we are committed to building respectful relationships with our customers, employees, and the environment. We believe that our success is directly tied to the success of our customers and the communities we serve.

Our Processes
- Fluidized Bed Powder Coating: A process that employs a tank with a porous bottom plate, which supplies low-pressure air uniformly across the plate. The rising air surrounds and suspends finely divided powder particles, creating a fluidized powder that can be applied to various parts.
- Nylon Coating: A highly durable coating that provides excellent abrasion resistance, electrical insulation, and corrosion protection. Nylon is ideal for a wide range of applications, from small to mid-size parts, in high-volume quantities.
- Epoxy Coating: A thermosetting coating that provides excellent electrical insulation, uniform coverage, and superior chemical and corrosion resistance. Epoxy is VOC-free and can be applied to a variety of metals, including copper, aluminum, and other materials.
- PVC & Polyethylene Coating: A cost-effective option that offers excellent adhesion, a high degree of edge coverage, and a uniform finish. Fluidized bed powder coated PVC and Polyethylene provide excellent insulation, corrosion resistance, and impact resistance.
