Brothers, Joe and Vince Todd, Jr., carry on Accessa’s tradition of empowering customers with coatings industry expertise and quality choices.
Paints & Solvents, Inc., was established as a wood stains manufacturer and wood coatings distributor. Its major supplier was Lilly Industries Inc. in Indianapolis.
CourterCo Inc. purchased Paints & Solvents so that its coatings division could buy larger volumes of product and pour-down into smaller quantities to satisfy everyone in its customer base.
To manage its Coatings Division, CourterCo hired Vince Todd, Sr., who had years of experience with Lilly Industries and a diverse background in coatings. Paints and Solvents became the distributor of Lilly’s Perfection Electrostatic Paint Division.
Under the direction of Vince Todd, Sr. Paints & Solvents had grown approximately 450 percent.
Coatings Solutions LLC, owned by Vince Todd, Sr. purchased Paints & Solvents, which expanded the team from five employees and one location to 40 employees and four locations. Coatings Solutions expanded its line to include industrial finishes for wood, metal and plastics.
Paints & Solvents changed its name to Accessa Coatings Solutions, conveying what the company did best — fostering its customers’ access to coatings and solutions.
HIT Solutions was formed, partnering with pioneers in the research and development of innovative adhesive, chemical specialty, metalworking and surface treatment solutions.
Accessa Coatings Solutions expanded its Elkhart, Indiana, location by relocating from an 8,000-square-foot facility to an 18,000-square-foot space.
Accessa Coatings Solutions partnered with Liquid Recovery Inc. and Cornerstone Environmental, Health and Safety to empower customers to make more proactive decisions around efficiency, emissions reduction, financial liabilities/risks, permitting and more.
Accessa Coatings Solutions moved into the Chicago market through an agreement to acquire Chicagoland Finishing Materials. The company has continued to grow, partnering with like-minded companies and becoming stronger together.
On January 4, Accessa Coatings Solutions and HIT Solutions came together under the parent company name Accessa, a decision made to support our customers, strengthen our foundation and strengthen the brand. The businesses remain separate business entities as Accessa Coatings Solutions and Accessa Chemical Solutions.
Accessa acquired Paint and Lacquer Co. in Englewood, Colorado, in September. The company had been selling high-quality coatings to the greater Denver, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs, Colo., markets since 1937. Accessa continues that tradition.
Accessa added Accessa Equipment Solutions to its family of businesses to simplify customers’ ordering and inventory management for suppliers of products such as abrasives, filters, gloves, rags, tape and maskings.
Accessa acquired Clark Deco in Pittsburgh. Clark Deco had earned a reputation for selling high-quality coatings and related supplies to the greater western Pennsylvania and northeastern Ohio markets, and beyond, since the 1950s. Accessa is proud to carry on this high level of service.
Accessa launched Accessa Marketplace Solutions as a one-stop e-commerce shop for professional wood finishers in the U.S. This latest in the family of Accessa business solutions offers more than 600 products from the top names in coatings, equipment, abrasives and hardware.
