    "In 1895 Mr. Flinois and Mr. Colmant built a partnership for the production of technical textile made belts in Belgium (Tournai) and in France (Lille). After 30 years in the business, Mr. Flinois sells its shares, and the company is renamed Colmant Cuvelier and develops a unique know-how in the design and manufacturing of belts. The first rubber coated fabrics appear in 1926 in the history of Colmant for the belt industry applications. Colmant Cuvelier quickly understands the importance of acquiring a calendering line for the manufacturing of his rubber sheets and coated fabrics. Firstly dedicated to his own applications, Colmant Cuvelier began to apply its savoir-faire in the design and manufacturing of coated fabrics for manufacturing and selling technical coated textiles for various applications such as hovercraft skirts and fuel flexible tanks. Then, in 1987 Colmant Cuvelier sells its Belgium manufacturing site to Dunlop and finally in 1990 Zuber Laederich group takes over the company. As recently as 2010, Colmant Cuvelier board decides to focus on his core business by initiating the creation of a new company specialized in the design and manufacturing of coated fabrics and rubber sheets. The aim of this spin off is to give enough autonomy of action to the team in order to grow the business in the field of high added value and specialized technical textiles coated with polymers. Colmant Coated Fabrics conceived and born as an independent company will leverage the know-how gathered by Colmant Cuvelier during the past 100 years by bringing new solutions to the markets worldwide."

    Calico Coatings was founded by racers, for racers. Tracy Trotter, owner and a racer himself, set out to develop the industry's most technologically advanced coatings — with the ability to withstand the extreme conditions of high speed and engine wear. Calico quickly gained a reputation as a leader in high performance with race teams and engine builders to solve issues of friction, wear, heat and corrosion. Trotter started the company with a little help from a special friend. "After working in the industry for several years I knew I could do this for myself. So, with the little savings I had and a small loan from my grandmother, I opened the doors of Calico Coatings." Starting with only two employees, Calico has now grown to 40 employees, running two shifts in order to meet the growing demands of their customers. For more than 20 years, the Calico team has worked relentlessly to maintain their reputation as the highest quality coating company in numerous industries in addition to racing. To remain on the cutting edge of coating technology they have also made advancements in thin films. "Our goal is to be the best in the coating business when it comes to quality," said General Manager Jennifer Jenkins. "We have been blessed with an unbelievable team of people at Calico Coatings and they have been the reason for our success through the years. When many small businesses have struggled to keep afloat, Calico has been able to successfully navigate through the financial challenges of the recent years. In 2007, Calico expanded their operation by adding a laboratory facility dedicated to the research and development of new coatings, including diamond-like coatings. By the end of 2012, Calico combined their operations into their corporate headquarters. Then in 2019, an additional expansion to make room for more thin films machines is now a state-of-the-art, 30,000 sq. ft. manufacturing and research facility located in Denver, NC.
