Binks
Binks at work in virtually every industry around the world
In 1890, Binks pioneered the spray gun industry with the introduction of the first cold-water paint spraying machine. It all started in the basement of Marshall Field & Company, when Joseph Binks figured out how to spray the walls instead of brushing them, and saved a lot of time.
Binks used his invention to rescue the opening of the 1896 Colombian Exposition: Just days before the opening, nine of ten exhibit buildings stood unpainted, but Binks saved the day. Today you can find spray finishing technology from Binks at work in virtually every industry around the world.
