Born in a Laboratory, Built for the World
Gravitex Paint was founded in 2002 by Jonathan R. Hargreaves in Atlanta, Georgia, with a modest R&D facility and a bold hypothesis: that the coatings industry was underserving both homeowners and industry with mediocre formulas dressed up in premium packaging.
Starting with just three product lines and a team of eight chemists, Gravitex set out to manufacture paints that genuinely outperformed competitors in adhesion, longevity, and color retention — with full transparency about every ingredient and its purpose.
Within five years, Gravitex had secured partnerships with national construction companies, interior designers, and government infrastructure projects across the southeastern United States.
