Van Technologies, Inc. is a manufacturer of custom engineered industrial coatings with technical leadership in waterbased and UV-curable technologies, sold under our GreenLight Coatings® brand.
We partner with manufacturers across industries—from wood and metal to glass and plastics—to produce high-performance finishes that run reliably in real production environments. Our focus is not on selling coatings, but on ensuring coatings work as intended on the line, delivering measurable results that support long-term success.
To learn more about our products
Van Technologies was established in 1991 as a research and development organization focused on advanced, application-specific coating technologies.
As demand for Application Specific Advanced Coatings (ASAC™) grew, our team of chemists, engineers, and technicians began working directly alongside customers to develop and manufacture coating solutions tailored to each operation’s specific needs.
That collaborative, technically disciplined approach continues to define how we work today.
Coatings are not standalone products. They must perform reliably within specific substrates, application methods, cure technologies, and operating conditions.
By integrating people, process, and chemistry, we engineer formulations that align with existing finishing equipment, reduce operational friction, and improve overall performance. When combined with experienced technical support, the result is more than a visually appealing finish—it is a solution that helps businesses operate more efficiently and profitably.
From our lab to your finishing line, customer support is a critical part of every solution we deliver.
Our role is to bring control, confidence, and consistency to your finishing process.
Behind every coating solution is a team of experienced professionals who work directly with our customers to support efficiency, consistency, and long-term success.
When you work with Van Technologies, you gain access to people who understand your process, take ownership of performance, and act as an extension of your technical team—from development through production.
