GLOBAL FINISHING SOLUTIONS, LLC
OSSEO, WI

Global Finishing Solutions, LLC, founded with a history tracing back to 1888, is renowned as the largest manufacturer of paint booths and finishing environments globally. Headquartered in Osseo, Wisconsin, GFS has evolved significantly since its inception when Jerry Bowe established JBI Booths in 1987, focusing on producing spray booths for various industries including automotive, industrial, and aerospace. Over the years, Global Finishing Solutions expanded through key acquisitions such as Team Blowtherm in 2003 and Blu-Surf Combustion Equipment Company. The merger with Team Blowtherm was instrumental in forming GFS, while the acquisition of Blu-Surf broadened its product scope by including industrial oven technology. The Curran Group's investment further solidified GFS's market position through additional resources. With a commitment to being market leaders across diverse segments like Aerospace/Government and Industrial markets, the company aims for innovation and profitability. Emphasizing 'people first' principles, GFS fosters an inclusive and professional corporate culture emphasizing fairness, integrity, and high standards, which has fueled its success and growth. The organization has consistently aimed to provide great technical services and support for a seamless customer experience. As of 2023, the company remains under the aegis of the Curran Group, with facilities in Osseo and Monterrey, Mexico, complemented by sales and tech support offices across North America. Recently completed expansions, including a training and development center, underscore GFS's dedication to advancement and excellence. The leadership team, including Matthew J Stillings (EVP) and Gregory Preves (Secretary), continues steering the company towards achieving its strategic goals while meeting the expanding needs of their clients with efficiency and innovation.
