OEC

OEC is how collision repairers finally have an easier way to get the job done – solutions and connections that link coaching & training, certification, repair planning & research, centralized estimate review, and parts sourcing. Too many people get trapped in the endless complexity of the service, maintenance, and repair world, and it’s slowing everything down. But when you’re connected to the OEC network, you can finally “see it, reach it, and get it done.” OEC | Now for the easy part™.

Evercoat began as Fibre-Glass Evercoat in 1953, when our first formulations were developed in Cincinnati and sold throughout the US, primarily to the marine market.

Today, Evercoat’s heavy investment in technology has allowed us to be the first to market with many leading products. Rage® was the first stain-free body filler, Optex® with its color-changing technology and Rage Ultra™, which is the first filler using Eco Resin™, an environmentally friendly resin which also provides superior sanding capabilities. Now we lead the industry in the use of our Light Speed ™ LED curing technology.
