Ameron Int`l Performance Coatings & Finishes Group

Ameron International Performance Coatings & Finishes Group was a division of Ameron International Corporation, a multinational manufacturer known for its products and services in the fields of infrastructure, coatings, and fibreglass-composite pipe systems. The Performance Coatings & Finishes Group specifically focused on providing high-performance coatings and finishes for a variety of industrial, commercial, and marine applications. Their product portfolio typically included paints, varnishes, and specialized coatings designed to protect surfaces from corrosion, wear, and environmental factors.

The coatings and finishes developed by Ameron were well-regarded for their durability and effectiveness in challenging environments. Industries that often utilized their products included oil and gas, marine and offshore, power generation, water treatment facilities, and heavy manufacturing.

In 2011, Ameron International Corporation was acquired by National Oilwell Varco (NOV), a global provider of equipment, components, and services to the oil and gas sector. Post-acquisition, many of Ameron's products and technologies were integrated into NOV's extensive portfolio, continuing to serve global markets under the new ownership.

Prior to its acquisition, Ameron built a strong reputation for innovation and quality in its coatings and finishes, helping extend the lifespan and reliability of infrastructure and equipment in demanding conditions.
