Business Strategy and Product Scope

Patriot Paint exists as the industry’s lowest cost producer of coating systems for metal substrates. Through its adoption and implementation of proprietary lean manufacturing techniques combined with a highly disciplined Activity- Based-Costing program, Patriot has achieved a uniquely competitive operational platform. From this platform, Patriot is able to reinvest in both a focused research and development program and an aggressive acquisition strategy that ensures leading-edge product positions are maintained. The result of maintaining this balance between cost leadership and technical competence for over 30 years is a conservatively-financed coating manufacturer with exceptional annual market share gains.

Market Positioning and Product Conformance

Patriot Paint manufacturing sites are registered to the ISO 9001-2008 quality management standard and ISO 14001-2004 environmental management standard. These registrations serve to ensure current and prospective customers that Patriot maintains capable systems continually driving the improvement of internal processes, product quality and environmental management.
