Color Wheel Paint Manufacturing can color your world -- if you live in Florida, that is. Founded in 1960, Color Wheel Paint makes paints, varnishes, and related supplies that are distributed through about 40 company-owned stores in the Sunshine State. The company sells paints, coatings, industrial epoxies, and polyurethanes (as well as paint supplies) to paint contractors, builders, and homeowners. Through its Lab Services Division, the company helps customers with product-related questions. The founding Strube family had owned the business until it sold Color Wheel to the Comex Group in 2006. The Comex Group operates a number of regional paint manufacturers in the US, including Kwal Paint and Frazee Paint.

Columbian Chemicals is black and proud. The company manufactures carbon black, a material used in the production of inks and coatings, rubber goods (especially automobile tires), and plastics.

Columbian Chemicals operates almost 20 carbon black manufacturing facilities in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Carbon black can also be used as a key raw ingredient for fuel cells. The company was jointly owned by Korean chemicals giant OCI Chemical and private equity firm One Equity Partners, until the latter bought it outright at the beginning of 2009.
