Since 1975, Anchor Coatings, Inc. has been family owned and operated. We take pride in a product not only made by the hands of local employees but the fact we are MADE IN THE USA. When Chemical Engineer brothers Tom and Harry Wischmeier started Anchor Coatings, Inc. back in early 1975 the main goal was to produce a high quality product without much fillers and to be environmentally stable and sustainable. To this day in 2011, Gary and Debbie Tutor and their daughter Amanda Schick still take environmental consciousness very seriously. Not only are we manufacturers of low V.O.C. products but our manufacturing facility is completely sustainable. We recycle everything from our rinse water to our plastic five gallon buckets. We donate buckets to local farms for worm composting and to our contractors who need or want them. Inside our office, we recycle all of our paper plus our daily coffee grounds go to the garden we have created on our property. Truly, how many manufacturers have a garden they tend to for their employees? We want you to join us in the environmental movement to create sustainable buildings, homes and offices...Check out our links for environmentally conscious ways to do that.
