Since 1976, Color Glo International has set the global benchmark in surface restoration and reconditioning across the automotive, residential, commercial, marine, and aviation industries. What began with founder Everett C. Smith’s desire for higher-performing, proprietary restoration products has grown into a thriving international organization with more than 100 proprietary, environmentally safe, and chemically advanced solutions. These exclusive products allow Color Glo technicians to repair, renew, and restore an extensive range of surfaces from leather and vinyl to plastics, fabric, dashboards, headliners, aviation components, and more.
Color Glo’s franchise system is equally distinguished. Franchisees receive industry-leading training at the company’s Minnesota headquarters, hands-on field onboarding, ongoing digital education, and 24/7 operational support. The
company’s ISO 9001:2015 certification, along with its FAA-approved quality control processes for aviation interiors, positions Color Glo as one of the few franchise models equipped to service high-regulation sectors with full compliance and credibility.
Today, the organization is experiencing a revitalized surge of growth driven by a dynamic new executive team: CEO James M., CFO Anthony V., and President Mike A. Their unified leadership brings renewed clarity, strategic discipline, and a bold international vision. Together, they are strengthening franchise support systems, expanding into new global markets, refining operational excellence, and elevating the brand’s competitive footprint.
This next chapter aims to build on decades of innovation while multiplying the company’s impact across billion-dollar industries, including automotive dealerships, aviation maintenance, hospitals, restaurants, marine operations, real estate, and more.
With its proprietary technologies, award-winning franchise performance, and energized leadership, Color Glo International continues to rise as a dominant global force delivering opportunity, advancement, and lasting value for every franchise owner in its expanding network.
