The Colortrend Group has a rich history in the coatings industry that dates back to 1929. Through the years, the Colortrend Group remained on the cutting edge of colorant technology and became the industry leader in the industrial and decorative coatings markets. Milestones include the first decorative color system that featured take home color chips for the consumer, the first color system for tinting industrial coatings, as well as being first-to-market with VOC free colorant technology.

Plasticolors, Inc. was founded in 1970 in Ashtabula, OH. Pigment dispersions were developed to support the Thermoset Plastics market and consist of technologies such as unsaturated polyester, polyol, epoxy, plasticizer, and alkyd. In the late 1990's, Plasticolors, Inc. ventured into colorants for paints and coatings. The coatings business grew quickly through development of high-quality colorants for water-based, epoxy, polyester, polyether polyol, polyaspartic, polyurea, castor oil, mineral oil, UV cure, and IR Reflective coatings. Emphasis on specialized customer requirements through custom product development, blended colorants and toll manufacturing drove growth in the coatings business.
