Our Beginning...
AMS Coating Systems has been family owned since its creation over 30 years ago and is built around a model of integrity and quality. Our founder, Barry Schaffer, is always casting his vision for amazing products at mom and pop prices. He works tirelessly to find the lowest prices of our raw products to save our customers money. AMS has never been about filling our coffers, so we will always do our best to keep product costs low.
Starting back in the 1970's as a painter, Barry knows the process very well, and also knows what does and doesn't work for wood finishing and commercial painting. He always hated using oil and solvent based products, but water-based products were embarrassingly bad and hard to use back in the 70's and 80's. His solution? Develop his own. Using his gift for tinkering and his determination, he began collecting the ingredients to create something new. After a long time and some not-so-great results, breakthrough came.
Barry was able to develop his first water-based product that worked as well as oil and was as easy on the environment as water. Since then, he has been continually developing his products to out-do and outperform our competition, all while keeping costs to the customers low. It's where we stand today, and not much about our vision has changed since then. Here at AMS, we make sure every product is the best it can be.
Where did the name AMS Come from? What was the breakthrough? Those are incredible stories, but are Barry's to tell, and he loves to tell them. Give us a call. You can ask him personally!
