HISTORY
Cintech Industrial Coatings, Inc. was formed in 1902 in Cincinnati, Ohio as the
Foy Paint Company and the Foy family continues to lead the company today. The purchase
of the Cincinnati Varnish Co. in 1928 was our springboard into the industrial and
wood coating market. This same year, we purchased a new paint plant. After purchasing
the R. F. Johnston Paint Co. in 1931, we operated under that name, as well as Foy
Paint, until 1961. At that time, the house- paint division combined names and labels
to become Foy-Johnston Paint.
In 1966 we purchased Jasper Chemical Coatings in Jasper, Indiana. Jasper, Indiana
is the second largest furniture-manufacturing region in the country. At that time,
we moved all of our furniture finishes manufacturing to Jasper.
Until 1987, we sold under three names:
Foy- Johnston- House Paint Division
Cincinnati Varnish Co. – Industrial Division
Jasper Chemical Coatings- Lacquer Division
After selling our house paint division in 1987, we changed the name of Cincinnati
Varnish to Cintech Industrial Coatings and moved into a new plant in Cincinnati.
Jasper Chemical Coatings continues in Jasper, Indiana.
