Our Story & Standards

22 years of precision manufacturing, relentless innovation, and an unyielding commitment to quality.

Gravitex Manufacturing Facility

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.

Quality Control Lab

ISO-Certified. Rigorously Tested.

Every batch of Gravitex paint passes through a 47-point quality control process before leaving our 120,000 sq. ft. production facility. We hold ISO 9001:2015 certification and comply fully with REACH and EPA environmental regulations.

Our pigment sourcing, resin formulation, and solvent ratios are monitored by automated spectrometric analysis alongside trained quality assurance chemists who review every production run. Nothing ships unless it meets our exacting standards for viscosity, opacity, drying time, and colorimetric accuracy.
