The History of Picco Coatings
Picco Coatings Co., Inc. was founded as an industrial paint manufacturing company
in 1982 by Mr. Gary Phillips. Mr. Phillips received his degree in Polymer
Chemistry specializing in surface coatings technology from the University of Southern
Mississippi in 1974. After Mr. Phillips received his degree, he spent nine
years in the industrial coatings sector as a Chief Chemist and Technical Director
for major paint manufacturers in the Houston area.
Picco began manufacturing coatings for numerous industrial concerns, including petrochemical
and related industries,marine, railcar, oilfields, offshore operations and OEM manufacturing
industries. In succeeding years Picco manufactured numerous types of solvent
free, water based and water reducible industrial coatings. Some of these are
alkyds, polyurethane, epoxies, silicones, acrylics, polyester's and specialty compounds.
Some of the more unique products are marketed under private labels.
PICCO was founded by technical coatings personnel and will remain a technically
oriented company, putting quality, merit and Polymer Chemistry into each gallon,
at a very competitive price. We believe that our customers should not have
to pay extra for technology and will continue to create and keep abreast of new
technological advances in raw materials, finished products, production techniques
and management systems in order to maintain our cost efficient operation.
In 1994 Picco became involved in Paint Recycling Programs, Toll Manufacturing and
Household Hazardous Waste Management. Mr. Phillips received the Proud Partners
