Gainesville, GA — November 2025 — Georgia Powder Coating (GPC) is proud to announce its fourth recognition as a Products Finishing Top Shop for 2025, having previously earned the honor in 2020, 2021, and 2022. GPC remains the only powder coating operation in the nation to achieve this distinction four times.

Each year, Products Finishing magazine recognizes Top Shops through a rigorous national benchmarking program that evaluates technology, operations, and business practices. The recognition places GPC among an elite group of finishing facilities setting the standard for excellence in the surface finishing industry.

This recognition reinforces our mission —to serve God and finish well in all we do.”

“Being named the number one Top Shop in North America reflects GPC’s unparalleled commitment to excellence, continuous improvement, and leadership in surface finishing — setting a benchmark others aspire to,” said Scott Francis, Editor-in-Chief of Products Finishing.

Beyond the award itself, Top Shop honorees receive an in-depth benchmarking report highlighting strengths and opportunities for continued growth. GPC views this process as a powerful tool to drive improvement — for customers, partners, and team members alike.

The 2025 recognition underscores GPC’s ongoing commitment to quality, innovation, and continuous improvement in powder coating services across the Nation.
