Finishes that hold up — for four decades and counting.

Coating the U.S.–Mexico Border Fence

Some jobs demand scale, stamina, and discipline. Out in the New Mexico Bootheel — near Antelope Wells, the southernmost and most remote port of entry on the entire southern border — crews apply protective industrial coatings to the 30-foot steel bollard fence. At roughly 4,600 feet of rugged high desert, with summer heat well past 100°F and nothing but open range for miles, the dark finish does double duty: it shields the steel from corrosion while standing up to relentless sun. It is exactly the kind of large-scale, high-stakes work a four-decade company is built to handle.
