About

building-photos.jpgSEM Products, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of innovative paint, adhesive and coating products. Our products are developed to meet and exceed the needs of today's automotive repair and refinishing industries.

In over half a century, SEM has pioneered quality automotive repair and refinishing products and delivers world-class customer service. These are just two of the fundamental principles that SEM was built upon in 1948.

Amidst continued growth, SEM moved from Belmont, CA to Charlotte, NC in 1992.

In 1999, SEM manufactured its first aerosol product in their newly built facility in Rockingham, NC. This 40,000 square foot facility put SEM on the map with their well known high speed production lines and incomparable filling records.

In 2009 SEM moved both the Charlotte and Rockingham facilities under one roof in Rock Hill, SC. Today we distribute our products to all 50 states and countries around the world.

For over 60 years SEM has represented the quality, experience and reliability that our customers have come to expect. SEM manufactures a full line of quality items, some of which include:
