ACS Manufacturing Inc

Founded in 1949, Seymour of Sycamore manufactures aerosol and bulk paint coatings and chemicals for automotive, industrial, marine and hardware markets and many specialty products. Founder Ed Seymour devised a novelty spray gun to demonstrate an aluminum paint he had created for painting steam radiators. Based on the same principle as spray deodorizers and insecticides, the conveyance featured a small can of paint packaged with an aerosol propellant and fitted with a spray head. Though intended to show sales prospects how the paint would look when applied to surfaces, the aerosol sprayer proved so popular that Seymour borrowed a few thousand dollars from a local bank to develop this revolutionary idea. The company distributes its products throughout the United States as well as other countries throughout the world. Its products are manufactured in-house from formulation to production to package labeling. Seymour of Sycamore is located in Sycamore, Ill.
