Protective Coat<strong>in</strong>gs Inc.<br />
Role Model<br />
Protective Coat<strong>in</strong>gs, Inc. was founded<br />
<strong>in</strong> 1958 <strong>in</strong> Fort Wayne, Indiana as a tank<br />
l<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g applicator. The l<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g bus<strong>in</strong>ess historically<br />
has been one of fluctuat<strong>in</strong>g volume. With these<br />
fluctuations <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d, the company determ<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
that it would be wise to diversify <strong>in</strong>to related<br />
bus<strong>in</strong>ess areas. This diversification has<br />
permitted it to develop a highly skilled and stable<br />
work force ready to react to its customers lead<br />
time requirements.<br />
Protective Coat<strong>in</strong>gs, Inc. has rema<strong>in</strong>ed an<br />
active, grow<strong>in</strong>g company s<strong>in</strong>ce its foundation,<br />
with its knowledge and experience mak<strong>in</strong>g it a<br />
role model for the rubber l<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>dustry. The<br />
company has flourished by adher<strong>in</strong>g to a number<br />
of important pr<strong>in</strong>ciples. The first of these is<br />
safety, someth<strong>in</strong>g that always comes first for<br />
the company and sees each of its employees<br />
receiv<strong>in</strong>g OSHA 30 Hour or greater tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g.<br />
“The company has<br />
flourished by adher<strong>in</strong>g to<br />
a number of important<br />
pr<strong>in</strong>ciples.”<br />
Honesty, <strong>in</strong>tegrity and ethics are other key<br />

desire to be fair, straightforward and s<strong>in</strong>cere <strong>in</strong><br />
its conduct, firm <strong>in</strong> its adherence to a code of<br />
high moral values, and with the <strong>in</strong>tention of never<br />
try<strong>in</strong>g to w<strong>in</strong> bus<strong>in</strong>ess by mak<strong>in</strong>g negative claims<br />
about its competition. Rather it wants to earn<br />
bus<strong>in</strong>ess based solely upon its owns merits.<br />

of the <strong>in</strong>gredients used, while Proco’s more than<br />
50 years of bus<strong>in</strong>ess operations is a result of<br />
its cont<strong>in</strong>ued reliability <strong>in</strong> meet<strong>in</strong>g or exceed<strong>in</strong>g<br />

least, Proco desires to be a company that serves<br />
and contributes to the welfare of its customers<br />
through not only its products but with its labour<br />
work<strong>in</strong>g safely <strong>in</strong> outside environments.<br />
