Microblend Technologies

MicroBlend, Inc. is an architectural paint solutions provider that has developed an innovative and cost-efficient paint production process based on its proprietary point-of-sale system. MicroBlends Automated Paint Machine system utilizes a patented, point-of-sale process to dispense paint on demand based on the consumers specific requirements. The APM system utilizes six proprietary pre-paint components, which are combined in calculated proportions to generate over 2,400 paint SKUs, compared to an average of only 500 at typical retail stores. The MicroBlend system significantly reduces the store area required to approximately 200 sq. ft., which has the ability to increase the retailers sales per sq. ft. by six to 12 times. The reduction in square footage also significantly reduces inventory and working capital. Furthermore, MicroBlends consumer-driven model has been proven to drive incremental sales and shift sales mix to higher margin paints for retailers. MicroBlends system results in a more efficient supply chain and reduces the cost of purchasing, shipping, handling and labor compared to traditional paint manufacturing.
