Nawkaw Corporation Revenue and Competitors

Nawkaw Corporation is an international company that manufactures, sells and applies proprietary water based stain products to masonry surfaces, such as brick, block, mortar, pre-cast, stucco and concrete. Contractors, developers, property management individuals, government organizations, architects and homeowners specify Nawkaw's services and products every year. Nawkaw is recognized as the International market leader and is responsible for establishing this niche industry. In 1972, as a part-time worker for Canada Brick in Toronto, Canada, Russell Gray founded what was to become Nawkaw Corporation. He hired research chemists and began developing a full proprietary product line of specialty masonry colouring products. The products were tested for durability and colour fastness in a wide range of environmental conditions. All products passed the test and met or exceeded all government regulatory requirements. While products were developed, Nawkaw application techniques were refined. Within months, requests for the masonry staining service were coming from all across North America. Within 24 months, there were requests from Australia, England, Russia and Africa. In 1988, Gray's Company was officially trademarked under the name Nawkaw Corporation. In 1996, the first Australian office was opened in Sydney and during the same year, the first sample job was completed in England for the London Housing Authority. Nawkaw currently offers a full range of masonry colouring products and services to contractors, architects, homeowners and specifiers around the globe, and expects further expansion to continue.
