Commercial - Anchor Paint

Anchored for Wear

Anchor Paint started from humble beginnings. Brothers Emerson and Roy Fowler were two talented chemists who also had the unique ability to engineer and build manufacturing machinery. The brothers saw a need in the market for high-quality industrial coatings, architectural house paint, spray equipment, and associated sundries.

The Fowler brothers and their two wives, Wanda and Annie, founded Anchor Paint Mfg. Co. in 1962. The two couples worked hard to get Anchor Paint off the ground—Emerson headed up sales, Roy ran production, Annie handled office administration, and Wanda managed the financials.

Their hard work, sacrifice, and dedication paid off. Within three years, they outgrew their original location and moved to a bigger facility where the current headquarters of Anchor Paint currently resides at 6707 E. 14th St. in Tulsa, Ok.

SINCE 1962

In the 1970s and 80s, Anchor Paint expanded its location to include two production, shipping, and receiving areas, a full technical laboratory, and enough space for a retail sales counter.

As the decades passed, Anchor Paint saw much success and grew to over 140 employees by the 1990s. Chip Meade, the son of the late Wanda Fowler, and his son Justin worked hard to preserve the legacy and core values of the founders by utilizing the principles found in the book “Good To Great” and the “continuous improvement methods of Lean Manufacturing.”

Justin has now succeeded Chip in becoming President and CEO of the company. His wife, AnNicole Meade, serves as the Marketing Director. Anchor Paint has since grown to include two additional Tulsa-area stores and branch warehouse locations in Oklahoma City, and Denver, Co.
