General Info

Graves Spray Supply enjoys an extensive history in the supply, service and manufacturing of dispensing equipment. Founded in 1938 in Chicago as a distributor for coating equipment, Graves Spray Supply grew at a rapid pace. In response to the increased demands for equipment, Graves moved to manufacturing of automated paint spray equipment, and were in full production and supply by the early 1950's. In keeping with the tradition of full service equipment distribution, Graves embarked on the newly developing industry of spray-up fiberglass manufacturing dispensing systems. In doing so, Graves became the largest FRP equipment distributor in North America, and maintained that place until the early 1980's. At that time, Magnum Industries was founded for the design and manufacture of spray-up fiberglass manufacturing equipment. With input from industry experts, Magnum developed many designs with a focus on reducing emissions and waste, while providing the highest quality equipment. On the other side of the country, Venus Products also embraced the up-and-coming FRP industry. Founded in 1954 near Seattle, Washington, Venus was the first to design, patent, and produce internal mix fiberglass spray technology. Venus' Hydraulic Injection System was the first piece of equipment to provide true airless, internal mixing, reducing atomization and material waste. Both Magnum and Venus' equipment were recognized around the world for engineering excellence. In September, 2000, Graves Spray Supply acquired Venus. This merger created a new company; Magnum Venus Products (M.V.P.). As the leader in the FRP industry, Magnum Venus Products was committed to supplying the most innovative technology available on the market. In an effort to anticipate the changing emissions control standards, M.V.P. took the first innovative step to reducing styrene emissions in the spray-u process by introducing FloCoating technology. M.V.P. is now leading the way into the future with the newly patented FIT systems. FIT (Fluid Impingement Technology) reduces emissions below that of the FloCoat technology, with the added benefit of waste reduction and increased transfer efficiencies. Government regulatory bodies are excited about this new technology as it allows the fabricator the meet the new regulations without major changes to the way they build their product. Seeing the steady move of the industry toward more closed-mold (RTM) production, M.V.P. turned their attention to providing their customers with the highest level of technology and expertise available for the RTM process, and that led to the purchase of Plastech T.T. Plastech Thermoset Tectonics began manufacturing equipment for the composites industry in 1983. Seeing the changes in the industry, Plastech changed their focus to designing and producing the technologies, equipment, and tooling necessary for the closed mold process.
