PAINT BOOTHS FOR

A full-service manufacturer with ISO 9001:2015 certification, GFS will assist you with all stages of developing, integrating and maintaining finishing equipment at your facility. We provide superior engineering and design expertise, as well as experienced project management, installation, commissioning, startup and preventative maintenance services. Our highly trained team will work with you to develop a process-driven solution that meets your refinishing requirements, health and safety codes, and budget.

GFS will work side by side with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVAFAC) and design-build firms to develop aircraft paint booths that fit within your existing hangar structure or are completely integrated into your new building design. By working collaboratively with these organizations, we are often able to save you time and money.

TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS

GFS has a long history and excellent reputation with the U.S.

government’s defense organizations in designing, building and installing state-of-the-art paint finishing equipment for Gen 4 and Gen 5 aircraft. With decades of experience, GFS has manufactured and installed hundreds of aircraft paint booths and parts booths for domestic and foreign military bases. These advanced finishing systems are precision engineered to provide the optimal environment for applying performance coatings.

AT THE FOREFRONT OF TECHNOLOGY

As technology advances for Gen 6 aircraft with stealth and drone capabilities, as well as artificial intelligence, GFS is positioned to remain ahead of the curve. We are backed by a sophisticated design and engineering team that is constantly pushing boundaries and achieving new heights in aerospace paint booth technology. Similar to how GFS tackled the challenges of designing finishing systems to accommodate Gen 4 and Gen 5 aircraft, it has the capabilities to develop solutions for Gen 6 aircraft, and the expertise to be a long-term partner you can trust.

GLOBAL FINISHING SOLUTIONS® (GFS) is experienced at designing high-quality, controlled finishing environments for the application of aerospace and defense performance coatings. Whether you are painting full aircraft, components or subassemblies, GFS will work with you to develop an end-to-end finishing solution that improves the quality of your paint finish, reduces rework and increases production.

A TRUSTED PARTNER

When you invest in capital equipment, you want a reliable, proven product from a company you can trust. Not only will our equipment stand the test of time, GFS will be here to support your valuable investment for decades after it is installed.

ENGINEERED TO MEET YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS

The strength and quality of GFS products come from precision engineering and continual product development. An in-house design and engineering team — consisting of electrical engineers, software developers, structural engineers, airflow specialists and systems designers — can work with you to develop the best solution for your unique requirements.

DESIGNATED PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Once your order is signed and contracts are executed, GFS assigns a designated project manager to follow your project through from start to finish. The project manager makes sure the project stays on budget and on time, in addition to coordinating with installation and field technician crews to construct, test and commission your equipment.

SERVICE & SUPPORT YOU CAN COUNT ON

We stand by our products and believe that excellent service should not end at the sale or equipment startup. You can rely on GFS for lifelong support and service of your Aircraft Paint Booth. GFS’ unmatched Technical Services department is available to assist you with emergency repairs and maintenance issues to ensure your finishing equipment is always running in peak condition. Preventative maintenance plans are also available to extend the life of your equipment.

MADE IN AMERICA

With more than 340,000 square feet of space and state-of-the-art equipment, virtually every component of GFS Aircraft Paint Booths are made in-house in Osseo, Wisconsin. With manufacturing, sales, service and support all under one roof in the United States, we are able to better control quality, production and the support we offer our customers. And by manufacturing and stocking replacement products, your shipping costs are reduced and parts are delivered faster.

PRECISE AIRFLOW & CONTAMINATION CONTROL

GFS Aircraft Paint Booths feature a balanced airflow design, which reduces the presence of dirt and contaminants, increases overall overspray removal and can reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs). High-performance filtration systems in our prep and paint booths trap dirt and dust before they enter the booth. They also capture overspray and can capture VOCs before air is exhausted from the booth.

With the ability to use Computational Fluid Flow Dynamics (CFD) software, our engineers can simulate booth airflow performance before the booth is even built. This advanced software enables GFS engineers to test custom designs, while customers can get a preview of how well their booth will perform.

TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY CONTROL

Aerospace and defense performance coatings require a narrow temperature range and specific humidity level to adhere properly. GFS can integrate specialized equipment and controls into your paint booth to accommodate these strict requirements and create the ideal finishing environment for your operation.

SAFE, CODE-COMPLIANT ENVIRONMENTS

GFS Aircraft Paint Booths are engineered to meet or exceed IBC, IFC, NFPA 33, NFPA 70 and NFPA 101 codes and standards, ensuring the safety of your employees and equipment, and enabling you to achieve all necessary permits and stamped drawings.

ISO CERTIFIED

GFS holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, further solidifying GFS as a leader in the industry and demonstrating our commitment to delivering quality products that are trusted by our customers. Becoming an ISO-certified company shows GFS’ unwavering dedication to quality, as we remain steadfast in manufacturing best-in-class products.
