In 1873, George Koch opened a small tin, copper, and ironwork shop in Evansville, Indiana. As word of his honesty and craftsmanship grew, so did his list of customers. By the early 1930s, his sons and grandsons were working with customers throughout the Midwest and around the country on a wide range of related activities, including high quality, cost-effective paint finishing systems. By the 1970s, their sons and grandsons were working with customers around the world on state- of-the-art paint finishing systems and related systems and technologies.
2 TODAY Innovation and excellence have always been the George Koch Sons philosophy. From George Koch’s example of determination, optimism and faith in our industrial tomorrow, George Koch Sons has grown into the diverse corporation it is today. From the small tin shop on Pennsylvania Street, to a diversified global organization, George Koch Sons has grown enormously.
Today, George Koch Sons, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Koch Enterprises, Inc. It is still headquartered in Evansville, but now has more paint finishing systems online than any other company, in nearly 40 countries around the world. It is still owned and managed by the Koch family, but is now a part of a highly-diversified company that consistently ranks among the largest privately-held companies in the U.S. Finally, it is still characterized by honesty and craftsmanship, but those qualities have been augmented by world-class design, engineering, fabrication, installation, and project management capabilities.
In 1999, a new parent company named Koch Enterprises, Inc. was created. Today, Koch Enterprises is listed in the Indiana Business Journal top 10 Private companies and consists of the following companies:
Koch Air, LLC Carrier residential, commercial, and industrial HVAC equipment, serving Indiana, Kentucky, Southern Illinois, and Eastern Missouri

Our material handling systems are designed by a dedicated engineering group. Likewise, our modular environmental systems, including zero-discharge systems, are also designed by our engineers and combine wastewater treatment and chemical recovery for compliance with environmental regulations and the highest cost efficiency.
Environmental regulations affect others, to ensure that they understand the most basic decisions about every facet of every system, and to pretreatment and paint finishing be certain that every system performs processes. Our experience in these to specifications—from start-up processes has naturally led to our throughout its service life. experience in wastewater treatment and chemical recovery systems. Our We design modular batch, duplex comprehensive environmental systems batch, and continuous treatment combine the two to ensure compliance systems, including collection tanks, with regulations and the highest cost- treatment modules, clarifiers, sludge efficiency in paint, powder, and other thickeners, final pH adjustments, finishing operations. sand filters, flow monitoring, water re-use, and sand filter transfer. Each Our systems, including zero discharge system integrates effectively with the systems, are designed, tested, and processes that feed it. It only makes installed by our engineers. We have sense to work with a single supplier, trained others to implement our with experience in both environmental equipment and documented hundreds and paint and powder systems. of successful systems.
