FORREST Technical Coatings We’ve got a reputation to uphold. Yours.
We credit our nearly 50 years as an industrial coatings manufacturer to the close relationships we maintain with our customers. In practice, that looks like:

We look forward to helping you grow your business as your high temperature paint or industrial paint supplier.
Our roots run deep.
Since 1973, we’ve been a family-owned and operated company. Our founder, Scott Forrest, aimed to create the best coatings lab in the Pacific Northwest, which has led us to earn us a place as a key industrial paint supplier to manufacturers throughout the Northwest and specialty coatings provider for diverse needs such as traffic marker adhesive and ESD coatings.
We developed our Stove Bright® High Temperature Paint to meet the needs for heat resistant paint for fireplace manufacturers in Oregon and Washington. We have established a global reputation as a high temperature coatings manufacturer worldwide by nurturing and continuing to develop relationships with these customers for decades.
Having the stability of a family-owned company not driven by financial markets, combined with the resilience and motivation of our honest, performance-based culture, our success has been driven by the belief that offering unmatched attention through face-to-face interactions is the best way to ensure everyone succeeds.
Causes We Care About
As a key supplier of heat resistant paint for fireplace, wood, and gas stove manufacturers, we support the movement to provide clean cookstoves to replace open fires in the developing world. We are corporate sponsors and active volunteers with StoveTeam International, an organization that brings clean cooking solutions to families in Central America and is the Charity of Choice for the Hearth, Patio, and BBQ Association (HPBA).
As community members of Eugene, Oregon, USA, we value a clean watershed. We are business sponsors of McKenzie River Trust and actively volunteer with The Middle Fork of The Willamette Watershed Council, who both aim to preserve, restore, and steward our watershed to be sustainable for the fish, wildlife, and people who depend on it.
We also actively support community arts projects, local organizations, and other causes in our community.
