About Us.
Our story
T&L Specialty was started by Cecil Overton in 1983 to develop industrial cleaning products. Since then, we have grown to become a leading developer and distributor of specialty chemicals and solutions for a wide range of manufacturers across the Southeast.
Our custom formulas and cleaning agents — including paint removers, coolants, rust preventatives and removers, phosphates, and metal-forming lubricants — are trusted by customers in the steel, auto, furniture, electrical and lighting industries alike.
Our success has been driven by our commitment to customer service, our and our ability to continuously improve the solutions and services we provide.
We have an in-house chemist who works directly with customers to develop custom solutions and formulations that meet specific challenges and requests, while ensuring the quality of each and every product we produce.
In addition, in the late 1980s, we launched our Parts Cleaning/Paint Stripping department, which works with many of these customers to strip and clean paint, epoxies, powder coatings, containments, and other combustible materials from steel, plastic, nylon and aluminum parts so that they can be sold or reused.

Picked with care
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
