(National Instruments: Austin, TX) -- Finishing Brands has become a global leader in electrostatic finishing equipment design, manufacturing, and marketing since Harold Ransburg invented the electrostatic process during the late 1940s. Electrostatic spray painting applies up to 100,000 VDC per coating, resulting in more consistent material coverage and significantly less paint overspray. Finishing Brands sells equipment for a wide range of industrial products, including off-road trucks, aluminum extrusions, metal office furniture, caskets, and leather.
