About us
From Coachbuilder to Coatings Manufacturer.
Founded by Charles Simpson in the 1950’s, originally operating on our current site as a car repair bodyshop, the company flourished going on to become one of the Midlands largest coach builders.
The business continued to diversify into other related sectors, opening a new venture supplying the Auto Refinish Aftermarket with paint and bodyshop products trading as TRI Colour Centres.
In the late 1990’s, paint manufacturer consolidation lead to a unique opportunity for TRI to invest in developing a toll manufacturing business, SARIS Coatings, supplying automotive car manufacturing in the UK with specialist small batch coatings to exacting standards.
