In 1962, while working as an estimator at a local shipyard, my father sold detergents from our home to a local chain of grocery stores. I received seven cents a bottle commission for each bottle I sold. The company was known as Hampton Roads Chemical Corporation. Later, we expanded our product line to include degreasers and sold these to local shipyards and service stations. The turning point came in 1970 when our small company became the local representative for a major manufacturer of marine coatings. Shortly thereafter Main Industries was founded in 1976. Main Industries overall mission was to offer sandblasting and painting capabilities to shipyards along the East Coast. Main Industries won numerous subcontracts from shipyards in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. These contracts involved surface preparation and painting of regularly scheduled overhauls of U.S. Navy ships and all types of commercials vessels. During the 1980’s, our world changed. The Cold War had ended and America did not need a 600 ship Navy fleet to hold communism in check. To us at Main Industries, this change meant a cut back in available military work. In order to compensate for these cut backs, Main Industries began to explore the commercial and industrial world of coatings while continuing to support the marine world.
