A.T. Switzer Company was
founded in 1911 in Kansas City, MO. It's goal was to provide superior
painting work, excellent customer service, and a long term dedication to
their clients. For over 95 years they have been dedicated to preserving
the life of your physical assets with high quality paints and durable,
long-lasting industrial and commercial surface coatings. They have earned

capabilities, qualified experience, specialized training and equipment,
and a superior work force. But even after almost a century in business,
A.T. Switzer Company's mission has stayed the same.
"Our mission is to go beyond our client's expectations, in
all forms of industrial, institutional and commercial painting." said Bob
Switzer Jr., great grandson of founder A.T. Switzer and president. "Our
company is proud of our reputation. We are reliable, dependable, and cost
effective, knowing that client satisfaction is our number one priority."
Regardless of the project size and scope, A.T. Switzer is always “Just a
Shade Better.”
Today the A. T. Switzer Company is owned and operated by the
fourth generation of the Switzer family, Alan, Bob Jr., Tom and Megan are
committed to continuing the upstanding family tradition. Robert L. Switzer
Sr. president from 1971 to 2003 was the third generation of Switzer's to
manage the painting company. He succeeded his father, Leon V. Switzer
1937-1971, who succeeded his father A.T. Switzer 1911-1937. Today, the
company continues to operate as a family-owned corporation and is one
of the oldest continuously family-owned painting contracting businesses in
