Our History

CBC Coating is located in Appleton, Wisconsin, an area strongly rooted in the paper industry. The company was originally founded in 1978 as a subsidiary of Riverside Paper Corporation, and is named after Charles B. (C.B.) Clark, son of one of the founders of Kimberly-Clark. Today, CBC Coating is a third generation, family-owned company.

Environmentally Friendly Solutions

CBC Coating is a steward of the environment, and you can trust your custom coating will be environmentally friendly, too. In fact, we have been green since before being green was even a thing. We’ve used 100% aqueous based coating solutions since our inception more than 40 years ago.

CBC Coating is also committed to responsible use of natural resources through our coating recovery systems and FSC® Chain of Custody certification. Below is a partial list of the certifications and regulations in which CBC Coating complies:
