About Us
When T&L Specialty opened its doors in 1983, our plan was to offer customers the flexibility and performance they needed by providing custom chemical blends for diverse organizational needs. If a product for that special purpose did not exist, T&L would make one.
Our next opportunity for growth came from a specific request from a customer wanting us to clean and paint strip parts for them since we understood the chemistry and regulatory requirements involved. This happened in 1994, and since then we now serve organizations in the automotive and industrial sectors that require paint cleaning, rust removal, and heavy-duty industrial cleaning.
With this customer-focused philosophy we have grown from a small 800 square foot facility to over 60,000 square feet.
In Addition to our hometown customers in Tupelo, Mississippi, we also serve clients throughout the Southeastern United States, China, and India by offering cleaning agents, coolants, rust preventatives, metal-forming lubricants, paint stripping, and more to a wide variety of manufacturing concerns.
Despite T&L's growth, CEO Cecil Overton and his staff still make it a point to treat every customer as though they are the only one they have, In fact, the very first customer T&L earned is still a loyal customer today.
