Global Finishing Solutions® (GFS) is a vertical manufacturer, dedicated to developing high-quality paint booths and finishing environments for a wide variety of industries — including aerospace, automotive refinish and industrial businesses. GFS strives to meet the unique needs of every customer across the globe with pre-engineered and custom solutions for paint preparation, application, curing and storage.
GFS products are expertly designed, engineered and manufactured with high-quality steel and components, ensuring reliable performance and longevity. In addition to our in-house design and engineering staff, our dedicated project management, installation, preventative maintenance and service departments, along with our extensive distribution network, provide our customers with excellent experiences every time.
At the forefront of the finishing technology industry, we are continuously improving our product lines and developing new products that improve paint finish quality, increase throughput and exceed performance requirements. This dedication to longevity and forward-thinking has made us committed to the health and safety of our customers and employees, as well as the communities around us, which is why we work to produce the most ecologically conscientious environments in the market.
GFS’ Quality Management System is certified to ISO 9001:2015 by Smithers Quality Assessments, demonstrating our commitment to delivering quality products that are trusted by our customers. Becoming an ISO-certified company shows GFS’ unwavering dedication to quality, as we remain steadfast in manufacturing best-in-class products for the wide range of industries we serve. GFS is committed to never compromise on the quality of our products and services and to foster a quality culture that delivers trusted products and services.
Owned and backed by the Curran Group, a family-owned and operated holding company based in Illinois, GFS gains additional strength and resources from the Curran Group’s financial stability, while continuing to run our business independently in Osseo, Wisconsin.
Our core values define our company culture and guide every aspect of our business. A low turnover rate — with many of our employees staying with us through retirement — is a testament to the culture we have built and live by.
Vision Statement
At Global Finishing Solutions, our vision is to be the leader in the markets that we serve; providing products, services and solutions that create a superior level of value for our customers.
Mission Statement
When it comes to technology, Chuck Kreuzer likes being ahead of his competition. Upgrading to an Ultra XR Paint Booth integrated with REVO Speed from GFS, along with four REVO Spot units, has given Chuck’s Collision Shop fewer production bottlenecks, improved efficiency and increased energy savings.
GFS has received the Corporate Safety Award from the Wisconsin Safety Council, the state’s leading provider of safety training and products. Receiving this award — in a category of mid-size manufacturing companies — places GFS in an elite group of less than 200 Wisconsin companies that have won it in the 27 years this award has been presented.
Eau Claire North High School has partnered with GFS for a new paint booth, giving students a unique environment for hands-on instruction. The first in the Eau Claire Area School District (ECASD), this paint booth provides students with a safe, efficient environment for painting automotive parts.
There are a lot of moving pieces when repairing heavy-duty trucks, with large parts orders, tons of labor and jobs in various stages of completion. As a body shop manager for Rihm Kenworth, Randy Johansson needed efficient finishing equipment that will not slow down production, and GFS delivered as promised.
As Bob’s Machine Shop evolved into one of the country’s premier manufacturers of jack plates for boats, their finishing equipment needed an upgrade. A new Performer ES Paint Booth from GFS with long-lasting GFS Wave exhaust filters has Steven Pelini confident in his company’s future, thanks to increased production, shorter lead times and improved efficiency.
Eric Zimmermann has experienced the damaging effects a production bottleneck can have on a business. When Valme North America was looking for finishing equipment for their new Wisconsin facility, he turned to GFS because he needed a paint booth manufacturer with local support that he could trust.
