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.

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 Chad Bijou took the leap and opened Waconia 1Collision & Auto, he knew he needed equipment from a manufacturer he trusts, so dialing GFS was the only call he made.
GFS is accepting submissions for its virtual car show, giving body shop technicians and car enthusiasts a chance to win REVO Accelerated Curing Systems, GFS accessories and autographed merchandise from industry celebrities.
Codes and standards outlining proper paint storage guidelines minimize risks and protect your workers, equipment and facility. Understanding those codes and standards is key when storing, dispensing or mixing paint and selecting the right type of enclosure for your needs.
Next month, GFS will be hosting a virtual Auto Refinish Summit, a chance for body shop owners, operators and technicians to network and learn about the industry in new ways, from the comfort of their own homes.
GFS has expanded its line of paint booth protection products to include the PIG Grippy Mat. A unique, adhesive floor covering for paint booths, the PIG Grippy Mat protects the booth floor, while also trapping overspray, dirt, dust and particles for better quality paint finishes and a safe, bright working environment.
GFS has several engineers with PE licenses who can review and stamp drawings for all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and Canada. These stamps are an engineer’s seal of approval — verification that your paint booth is constructed to operate safely for the protection of your employees and facility.
