Engineered Resin Solutions (“ERS”), a leading provider of advanced epoxy coatings and surface protection solutions, is proud to announce its strategic expansion into Florida and the Southeastern United States. The move includes the opening of a regional office in Fort Lauderdale, and the hiring of industry veteran Taylor Greene to lead operations in the region.

Founded in the early 2000s by Pennsylvania-based entrepreneurs, ERS has built a strong reputation as a trusted partner for refineries, chemical plants, maritime customers and wastewater facilities. The company's proprietary, Made-in-USA epoxy coatings are engineered to mitigate erosion, corrosion, and abrasion — protecting critical infrastructure in the most demanding environments.

The expansion marks an exciting milestone in ERS’s growth trajectory and further solidifies its position as a national player in industrial protective coatings. ERS is a division of Schmidt Industrial Services, a diversified industrial firm with capabilities in heavy gauge metal fabrication, pressure vessel manufacturing, and precision machining.

“Bringing our specialized epoxy coating solutions to the Southeast is a natural next step for ERS and our entire company,” said Brian Santana, Chief Executive Officer of ERS. “Taylor Greene brings the technical acumen and regional insight we need to build on our legacy of excellence. Florida and the Southeast represent a significant opportunity for us to support asset resilience where it’s needed most.”

Dave Tennett, President of ERS, added: “Our clients trust ERS because we listen, we innovate, and we deliver. With our Fort Lauderdale presence, we are better positioned than ever to respond rapidly and effectively to regional industry needs.”

For over two decades, ERS has differentiated itself through its creativity, tenacity, and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. With the addition of Taylor Greene and the Fort Lauderdale office, ERS is poised to continue that legacy across a broader geographic footprint. Taylor Greene joins VP of Sales, Jeff Finley, who is based in the company’s Pennsylvania office.
