The company focuses on the warehousing, handling and delivery of solvents, coatings, adhesives, sealants, lubricants and other industrial liquids. Through its network of strategically located distribution centers, Coast provides its customers with packaged product solutions in drums, pails, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) and rail cars, along with a suite of ancillary services such as re-packing, blending, drum reconditioning and inventory control.
Serving a diverse array of end markets—including paints and coatings, consumer and industrial adhesives, food ingredients, personal care, and petrochemicals—Coast Distribution System leverages its coast-to-coast footprint in the United States, as well as cross-border operations in Canada and Mexico. The company’s logistics infrastructure enables just-in-time delivery, vendor-managed inventory programs and tailored packaging configurations, helping customers optimize supply chains, reduce in-house handling and maintain regulatory compliance.
Founded in 1977 as a regional container recycler in Southern California, Coast embarked on a strategic expansion in the mid-2000s, growing through the acquisition of complementary distributors and the development of proprietary repackaging facilities. In 2014, the company completed its initial public offering on the NYSE MKT, marking a new chapter in its roll-up strategy. Today, Coast Distribution System operates more than a dozen distribution locations, featuring dedicated blending bays and environmental compliance systems to meet stringent industry standards.
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Michael A. Gordon and Chief Financial Officer Laura J. Peters, Coast Distribution System continues to pursue selective acquisitions and operational enhancements. Emphasizing safety, environmental stewardship and customer service excellence, the company aims to expand its geographic reach and service portfolio while maintaining strong relationships with major chemical producers and end users across North America.
