Applied Coating Systems, Inc., is a privately held corporation based in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The company applies specialized coatings to meet the unique needs of each market it serves. Applied Coating Systems applies a range of decorative and protective coatings for the military, architectural, non-stick and other commerical/industrial applications. The company also applies non-stick coatings for food processing and other commercial/industrial applications in need of non-stick performance.
Serving all branches of the military and their subcontractors, Applied Coating Systems has a wide range of sophisticated military coating applications, including radar absorbing material (RAM) coatings for military equipment.
Applied Coating Systems, Inc. was incorporated in 2003, but has a history in the coatings industry dating back to 1938, when it was known as The ISPA Company. Applied Coating Systems' owner and CEO, Ronald L. Kaufman, purchased The ISPA Company in 1968, retaining it for over 30 years before selling it to Sermatech, a division of Teleflex Corporation.
When Sermatech decided to exit the architectural, military, and non-stick/industrial coatings markets, Mr. Kaufman repurchased these lines and maintained operations, without interruption, throughout the transition to Applied Coating Systems, Inc. He also retained the experienced management and manufacturing staff, many of whom have been with the company for 25 years or more. Since the acquisition, the company has upgraded its 65,000 square foot facility, and re-dedicated itself to being the best in the industry.
As a result of its unique business history, Applied Coating Systems, Inc. is uniquely qualified to offer its customers the benefits of a "new" business, as well as those usually associated with a longstanding one. The company’s 65,000 square foot plant is outfitted with state-of–the-art robotic equipment and task-specific facilities. The Applied Coating Systems management team is experienced, and its technicians are highly skilled in providing the best in surface integrity, performance and corrosion protection through controlled application of coating systems.
