Originally founded in 1939 as Purpose Products in Islington to undertake wet spray coating the company
was acquired by the Andon family in 1950 by
Gerald Andon with his brothers
Percy and Lawrence. From 1950 onwards the company
specialised in stove
enamelling and
wet
spray.
In 1963 the company relocated to a purpose-built site in Peckham. In the early 1970's the company was one of the first companies in London to offer powder coating which, at the time, was rapidly replacing wet spray and stove enamelling as the finish of choice by many manufacturers.
During the 70's and 80's Purpose Powder Coatings worked primarily with retail companies such as Marks & Spencer and Mothercare as well as powder coating all of the cable trunking for the Post Office Tower.
During the 60's the company acquired several other finishing companies including Britannia Plastic Coatings, that undertook stove enamelling and plastic coatings and was run by Percy Andon. This company was later sold in the 1990's.
At this time a third company ME Beswick was acquired in Byfleet by Lawrence Andon for stove enamelling. After Lawrence Andon's death the company was run by Gerald Andons son, John Andon and expanded to include the manufacture of powder paint. The company was later sold to Beckers.
In 1997 the company name was officially changed to Purpose Powder Coatings from Purpose Products to better reflect the activities of the company.
In 2007, in response to the requirements of a long standing customer, Purpose Powder Coatings installed a dedicated powder coating line onsite at the customers facilities in Ramsgate as a dedicated customer focused processing facility, owned and staffed by Purpose Powder personnel.
In early 2023 the company relocated its production facility to Belvedere where it continues to grow and focuses primarily on the manufacturing sectors, as well as working closely with local artists and creators on low volume one offs.
Going forward, the company intends to open a small production facility at its premises in Ilderton Road London, for powder coating small scale and bespoke items.
This location is where the head office, accounts and studio spaces are currently sited.

Gerald Andon and his brothers bought the company in 1950.
