Hentzen Coatings recently marked its 100th year in business. Owned and actively managed by the Hentzen family since 1923, the company continues to leverage the flexibility of private ownership to encourage innovation and creativity in both liquid and powder coatings. This environment has supported the development of significant new coatings technologies for the aerospace, defense and general industrial markets. As a leader in advancing these solutions, Hentzen — though not the biggest — is widely recognized as one of the best in the markets it serves. Now in its fourth generation of family leadership, the company remains committed to delivering coatings that meet growing demands for environmental awareness and sustainability.

Headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Hentzen serves a global market with additional facilities in Illinois, South Carolina, Florida, Mexico, India and China.
