G.J. Nikolas began his company with a simple vision: to manufacture the finest lacquers and coatings in the world. For more than a century, that vision has guided five generations of the Nikolas family. Today, building on our heritage, we still manufacture the finest coatings available anywhere. Recently, working under the constraints of stringent VOC regulations, G. J. Nikolas & Co., Inc. developed Eco-Borne™, an innovative EPA compliant series of coatings for brass and other non-ferrous metals. This is just one of many of our newest formulations.
