History
- 1936
During the Great Depression, Harold Ransburg develops the 'No. 1 Process' — combining a radiological transformer with a DeVilbiss spray gun — thereby founding electrostatic painting to reduce material waste.
- 1998
Binks, DeVilbiss and Ransburg officially merge, forming a global provider of finishing technologies.
