TC Specialties Named Valence Distributor

A paint supply distribution agreement between Valence Surface Technologies (Valence/VST) and TC Specialties Inc. has been reached. TC Specialties will be Valence’s primary distributor of paints and primers starting with its West Coast and Wichita facilities. The company expects a successful transition that could expand across more of its North America locations. In the meantime, Valence is seeking to expand its strategy to the East Coast with evaluations underway.

“VST is excited to have formed this agreement with TC Specialties, a stellar aerospace coating company that provides high quality paint and primer,” says Andrew Brandenburg, Valence’s vice president of operations. “This is a great first step in consolidating our supply chain to improve service availability and turn time.”

Since 1979, TC Specialties has also been a distributor for AkzoNobel aerospace coatings. Valence believes that AkzoNobel’s products along with TC Specialties’ technical support and decades of reliability have set a standard in coatings that will meet the needs of its military aerospace and defense customers.

“TC Specialties is looking forward to growing this partnership and expanding our ability to provide the same high levels of service and reliability that we have maintained with several of VST’s industry leading facilities for over 30 years,” says Gary Fujihara, TC Specialties president.
