History

40 Years of Experience and Excellence.

The Crown Group has grown and evolved from a company that was founded by Philip Baer (Baer Industries) in 1950. In 1965, the original “Crown Enameling, Inc.” was founded. That was the beginning of The Crown Group as it is known today.

By 1980, The Crown Group had grown to several companies and began to establish itself the leading coatings application supplier for the automotive marketplace.

During the 80’s and 90’s, as the automotive industry supply base expanded into other parts of North America, The Crown Group followed. Additional plants were established in Michigan, Tennessee, Indiana, and Ontario to service the ecoating, powder coating, and liquid painting needs of OEMs and the Tier One supply base. As many as 11 Crown plants were operating simultaneously during this period to service the coating needs of the automotive industry.

Today, The Crown Group continues to provide excellence in quality, service and delivery for the North American automotive marketplace. Let us put our 40 years of experience and coating excellence to work for you.
