The Gerson Company, headquartered in Middleboro, Massachusetts, USA, produces a wide range of consumables for the Automotive, Safety, Medical and Consumer markets.

Since 1956, when Louis M. Gerson, a graduate engineer from MIT developed the first automated production line to make paint strainers, the Gerson Company has been the worldwide leader in paint strainers and paint-filtration products. Today, the unique and innovative Gerson Paint System is widely acknowledged to be best paint system on the market, providing the benefits of a unitized lid and liner and the convenience of spraying without the need of a hard cup.

Through automated production and its own in-house engineering, the Gerson Company provides a complete range of the highest quality body-shop accessories, including NIOSH- and CE-Approved Disposable Respirators, chemical cartridge Half-Masks and Tack Cloths, supplied through leading Distributors throughout the World.

Today the Gerson Company, occupying a factory over 75,000 sq. feet (7,000 sq. meters) in size, still remains a family-owned business, managed by Ronald Gerson, the son of the founder, who has nearly 40 years experience in the automotive aftermarket.
