KANSAS CITY, MO – Protective coatings manufacturer Tnemec Co. Inc. has acquired Epoxytec International Inc., a manufacturer of protective and structural-grade coatings and linings. The acquisition brings the two family-owned companies together to offer solutions in structural-grade epoxies on a larger scale.
Italian immigrant Joe Caputi established Epoxytec in 1990. After becoming an independent distributor for a specialty coatings company, Caputi eventually parted ways to form Epoxytec. In 2001, Caputi’s son Michael Caputi joined the business helping expand Epoxytec to offer services worldwide from its headquarters in Hollywood, Florida.
