Palmetto Paint Specialties was founded in 2004 by Glenn Hotchkiss, who envisioned an independent distributor that would set a new standard in the automotive coatings industry. Starting with a focused commitment to quality and exceptional customer service, Glenn built the company from the ground up, establishing a reputation for reliability and innovation in an industry that was rapidly evolving.
Over the past 20 years, our company has experienced remarkable growth and transformation. From our modest beginnings, we have expanded into a thriving business that now employs more than 80 dedicated professionals across 11 counties throughout the great states of South Carolina and Georgia. This regional expansion has allowed us to better serve our customers, ensuring that high-quality coatings and expert advice are always within reach.
Originally rooted in the automotive coatings market, we quickly recognized the broader potential of our industry. As a result, we strategically expanded our product lines to include industrial coatings, which are engineered to protect vital infrastructure and machinery, and commercial coatings, designed to keep business fleets and facilities looking professional and performing at their best. In addition to these core areas, we have diversified our offerings to include a wide range of associated products. This expansion ensures that our customers can access a comprehensive suite of solutions tailored to meet the demands of various applications, all from one trusted source.
Our team brings together over 100 years of collective experience, combining deep technical knowledge with a passion for innovation. This wealth of expertise allows us to stay ahead of industry trends and continually refine our product offerings. We are committed to providing our customers with state-of-the-art coatings that not only meet but exceed industry standards, ensuring durability, performance, and aesthetic appeal across every application.
