Company History

When Tom Healey and Marvin Braaksma decided to team up in 1967 to form Anvil Paints & Coatings, they initially concentrated on manufacturing coatings for the tile roofs so popular in Florida. By 1972 two additional buildings were needed to meet the increased demand for Anvil coatings. Sales continued to grow as Tom and Marvin steadily expanded Anvil’s product line, including roof coatings developed for the Manufactured Housing Industry, and its market area. Sales grew along with these new products and soon Anvil Paints & Coatings had become a well known and respected company serving a rapidly expanding customer base. In 1979 a fourth manufacturing facility was added. Because of Anvil’s unique ability to develop innovative products and solutions that fit their customers’ needs, the company continued to expand.
The 1980’s saw further growth into the retail segment of the industry as Anvil continued to introduce new products to the marketplace. During the 1990’s, plant expansion continued and an additional warehouse was built to support the new lines of product offerings. A top notch professional management team was assembled to coordinate technical, manufacturing and marketing expertise needed for the company to reach its next level of growth. Today the company occupies more than 55,000 square feet on five acres. It produces more than 65 unique and innovative products to protect and beautify commercial and residential properties. These products are distributed nationally to a diverse customer base reaching contractors and homeowners.
