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
GFS is excited to announce that GSB Industries has joined our automotive and truck refinish distribution team, bolstering GFS’ ability to provide extraordinary service to body shops and collision repair centers in Georgia and Tennessee.
Proper cleaning and maintenance methods in your paint booth help promote higher-quality paint jobs, reduce rework and contribute to longer-lasting parts and components. They are also critical for the protection of your employees and facility. With spring cleaning now top of mind, here are the top five things you can do to protect your paint booth and keep your finishing equipment running efficiently.
For more than a century, Michael Cuene’s family has bought, sold and repaired cars. In the latest expansion of his flagship dealership, all signs pointed to GFS being the best fit for Broadway Automotive Collision Center. And in 2022, a massive rebuild — featuring four paint booths, a dual-bay prep station and two paint mix rooms from GFS, as well as 42 service bays and a drive-thru estimating station — has Cuene feeling good about the future of his business.
Reliable equipment from GFS — a pair of Ultra XD Paint Booths, a triple-bay Ultra XD Closed-Top Open-Front (CTOF) Booth and an Ultra XD Paint Mix Room — gives Dave Kindig confidence in his shop’s ability to keep producing the boundary-pushing rides his legion of wide-eyed fans have come to expect.
With more than 100 vehicles awaiting repair at any time and a shop expansion in the works, Cranston Collision needed equipment that would increase production and deliver the high-quality finishes their customers have come to expect. A pair of Ultra XR Paint Booths from GFS and local distributor Collision Center Design has given Dennis Gamba the tools to help Cranston Collision discover their full potential.
Incorporating REVO Accelerated Curing Systems from GFS into their operations in 2021 has enabled Budget Truck & Auto to increase quality and reduce time in the repair process, resulting in a big boost on their bottom line. Suddenly, yesterday’s production-crippling setbacks have become today’s opportunities for growth.
