In 1890, Binks pioneered the spray gun industry with the introduction of the first cold-water paint spraying machine. It all started in the basement of Marshall Field & Company, when Joseph Binks figured out how to spray the walls instead of brushing them, and saved a lot of time.

Binks used his invention to rescue the opening of the 1896 Colombian Exposition: Just days before the opening, nine of ten exhibit buildings stood unpainted, but Binks saved the day. Today you can find spray finishing technology from Binks at work in virtually every industry around the world.

Founded in 1888 when Toledo, Ohio physician Dr. Allen DeVilbiss combined a bulb, some tubing, and the base of an oil can to create the first atomizer for health care, DeVilbiss is now the leading supplier of spray finishing equipment to the industrial and automotive refinish markets.

Since then, DeVilbiss has maintained its commitment to innovative technology by establishing itself as a team of experts who thoroughly understand the intricacies of the finishing process, the equipment design needed for achieving the highest quality finish, and the bottom line needs of customers to maximize productivity. DeVilbiss products are used with equal success in the wood, aerospace, plastics, metal, and automotive industries by operators ranging from the industrial professional to the hobbyist. DeVilbiss equipment is used to spray a wide variety of solvent-based and waterborne coatings including single and dual component and low and high solids materials.

Harold Ransburg developed the first electrostatic application system in 1940 with the introduction of Ransburg No1. Further developments through the 50s and 60s lead to Ransburg achieving material transfer efficiency levels of up to 98% and significant reductions in overspray, resulting in dramatic cost savings and reduced VOC emissions in a wide range of applications, in many different industries.
