Founded in 1953, Fibre Glass-Evercoat began producing a fiberglass resin material used to recover and repair wooden boats. In the mid-1950's, Evercoat entered the professional autobody repair market with polyester body fillers and putties.

In 1995 Fibre Glass-Evercoat was acquired by Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW) and is part of ITW's Finishing Group. The year of 1996 brought the addition of SprayCore, a polyester foam coating used in boat building.

Today, Evercoat is a leading manufacturer of autobody repair fillers and putties in the automotive refinish industry, patch and repair products for the recreational marine market, and specialty polyester coatings for the industrial and boat building markets.

Fibre Glass-Evercoat’s product innovation has always been a dominating force in the automotive industry. Beginning in 1961, the company introduced the first colored catalysts for polyester body filler which assured the bodyman of a thoroughly mixed product. The subsequent years brought many technologically-advanced products such as FEATHER FILL®, METAL GLAZE®, RAGE® and the METALWORKS® system.

Innovative technology continues into the 21st century with FIBER TECH™ and GLASS-LITE™. FIBER TECH™ addresses repair mapping and bond line swelling problems on today’s SMC and rigid composites. GLASS-LITE™ is the industry’s first lightweight, fiber-reinforced filler. MAXIM™ Plastic Repair is the simplest system for virtually any automotive plastic repair. Just pick your speed, pick your product and go. MAXIM™ also offers bonding adhesives, sealants and foams in a convenient two-component cartridge. Use a standard, professional caulking gun and eliminate the expense and complexity of a two-component gun. BODY MAGIC® is our premium auto refinishing system.
