Powers Paper Co
About Powers Paper Company (PPC)
Founded in 1989 with deep roots in small-town Kentucky, Powers Paper Company — commonly known as PPC — has grown into a nationally recognized manufacturer and distributor of specialty paper and protective products for the automotive aftermarket, construction, and commercial industries. What began as a modest operation has expanded to over 50,000 square feet of production space across multiple facilities, including a West Coast division in the Pacific Northwest, allowing PPC to efficiently serve customers across all 50 states, Canada, Mexico, and beyond.
Automotive Aftermarket Expertise
At the core of PPC's reputation is its comprehensive line of automotive refinishing supplies. Body shops, dealerships, and professional detailers rely on PPC for products that make the difference between a flawless finish and a costly mistake. The company's masking paper lineup is engineered specifically for the refinish industry, offering resistance to paint solvents, urethanes, base coats, and clear coat systems. Available in green, brown, white, and poly-coated varieties, PPC masking papers are converted using shear-cut equipment with dust and trim removal systems — a manufacturing detail that helps eliminate fiber contamination during the cutting process.
Beyond masking paper, PPC supplies plastic sheeting in both economical and premium grades, each corona-treated for superior paint anchorage. Their automotive accessories extend to seat covers, car covers, floor mats featuring a patented Slip-N-Grip two-layer construction, body stands, paint paddles, paint strainers, and paint cans through an exclusive nationwide distribution agreement with PBE — a brand with roots in refinish solutions going back to 1968.
Quality, Sustainability, and Service
PPC has built its reputation not just on product performance, but on a genuine commitment to service. The company has earned multiple corporate customer awards for 100% full-fill and on-time delivery — a benchmark that speaks to the reliability shops and distributors depend on. PPC also takes a long-term view on environmental responsibility, working exclusively with suppliers recognized as some of the most sustainable paper manufacturers in the world.
One standout feature of PPC's business model is its private-label capability. The company can apply custom branding to its products at no additional charge, making it an attractive partner for distributors and regional chains looking to build their own brand identity without sacrificing product quality.
Construction and Commercial Products
PPC's product reach extends well beyond the automotive bay. The company also produces masking and protective papers for the construction and painting industries, including builders brown paper, floor paper, and red rosin paper for job-site surface protection. This cross-industry versatility reinforces PPC's strength as a paper converting and distribution company with the scale and infrastructure to serve diverse professional markets.
Whether you're running a busy body shop, managing a fleet, or outfitting a job site, Powers Paper Company brings decades of manufacturing expertise and a customer-first philosophy to every roll, sheet, and accessory they produce.
