Who We Are
Mansfield Paint Company was founded in 1945 by F.E. Kautz, who owned and operated it until his death in 1979. His daughter, Ann Kautz Bargahiser took over the reins and operated it until September 2001 when it was purchased by its current owner, George Bufkin.
Mansfield Paint Company was founded around Mr. Kautz's idea for automotive finishes which included wheel rim paints, plastisols for coating dashboards, and other functional paints, all of which met specific needs for automobiles. As the need for paints changed, Mansfield Paint evolved and changed as well.
The company was originally located in Mansfield, Ohio but in December 2002 was moved to Medina, Ohio. We manufacture more than 200 chemical coating products for coating steel, iron, various rubber, and plastic substrates along with zinc plated items. Our products are developed in our laboratory, tested and proven in practical use situations, manufactured under rigorous process control and subjected to thorough quality control protocol.
