Our Story

Built on Precision.
Backed by Science.

Founded in 2008, Apex Coatings Group started as a single-unit mobile spray operation serving local fabrication shops. Today, we operate as a group across all provinces with a team of 40+ certified applicators and coating technicians.

Every project begins with a thorough surface analysis and environmental assessment. We partner with leading global manufacturers — including Jotun, Rhino linings, Specialized Coatings, Technical Finishes, and Raptor — to select the exact coating system matched to your substrate, operating conditions, and regulatory requirements.

We don't just apply paint. We engineer protective barriers that reduce downtime, lower lifecycle costs, and keep your assets running safely under the most demanding conditions.

We've used IronShield for every structural steel project since 2015. Their blast-cleaning standards are impeccable, and the multi-layer epoxy system they recommend consistently passes our third-party inspections with flying colours. Reliable, professional, and always on schedule.

The chemical-resistant flooring IronShield installed in our processing plant has been flawless. Three years of daily exposure to acidic cleaners and hot water washdowns, and there's not a single blister or delamination. They understood our compliance requirements from day one.
