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
A new Aircraft Corrosion Control Facility opened in 2021 on Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. The facility includes a GFS Aircraft Paint Booth that the Corpus Christi Army Depot will use in repairing and maintaining rotary wing aircraft.
Repairing high-end vehicles requires nothing less than the highest-quality finishes, and Robert Gallegos wanted the best equipment he could find for the body shop he co-owns with his brother, Andrew. GFS met their needs in 2018, with three Ultra Paint Booths that are integrated with REVO Accelerated Curing Systems — part of a Side-Load Finishing System to boost productivity and maximize efficiency.
Jetstream Aviation’s paint shop in Kinston, North Carolina, became operational in 2021, with a GFS Aircraft Paint Booth that measures 95 feet wide, 30 feet high and 104 feet deep. An airflow rate of 210,000 CFM, coupled with an air-cooled chiller and heated Air Make-Up Units (AMUs), give Jetstream the ability to complete basic repairs to the most complex ones, in the least amount of time possible.
Running a solo operation, Derry Peterson needed reliable, efficient equipment that he could trust for his restoration shop that specializes in hot rods. GFS met his expectations, as Legenderry Auto Body opened in 2021 with an Ultra XS Paint Booth and attached Ultra XS Paint Mix Room.
Beacon Equipment Resources has expanded its territory to now serve GFS customers in the Southwest, positioned to meet their unique needs with pre-engineered and custom solutions. Beacon Equipment is GFS’ preferred automotive and truck refinish distributor in New Mexico and also provides service in Arizona.
With a 40-year-old paint booth, J&M Collision Center was long overdue for an upgrade. Jim Bilz needed a new booth that would prevent bottlenecks and alleviate his body shop’s big backlog. His problems were solved in 2021 with the addition of an Ultra XD Paint Booth from GFS.
