Life Coatings

Kaplama endüstrisi nesiller boyu gidiş ailemizin kan hatlarında zengindir.

The coatings industry is rich in our family blood lines going back four generations. Whether, it was delivering, manufacturing, developing, outside sales, store ownership, or a sales clerk, we have done it all before. In 1962, William (Bill) Sibbrel and his close friend Robert (Bob) Benson had an idea to start a new coatings company in the Los Angeles area called Life Paint. In 1963 they broke ground in Santa Fe Springs, California, the southern tip of Los Angeles County. Bill went out to sell and form a sales team while Bob stayed at the plant working as the chief chemist and plant manager. They began making and selling clear, oil based sealers for wood, which grew into stains, and then solid color coatings. In the 1970’s, Life Paint began formulating with latexes and combining them with natural oils creating specialty hybrid coatings. This research extended into creating better products for water resistance meant for wood and then stucco.
