Welcome Pro Finishes Plus

 

We'd like to welcome the Pro Finishes Plus (PFP) associates to the NCS family.  On October 4th, PFP merged with NCS adding 120 associates to the company. 

 Mattos Paints was started in 1928 and, over the years, the company expanded by opening branch stores in strategic locations that now cover the entire Washington, D.C. Metro area along with significant portions of Maryland and Virginia. The company expanded into Pennsylvania with the acquisition of Pittsburgh Pro Finishes in 1993.  In March of 2010, Mattos Pro Finishes merged with Superior Auto Paints which operated several stores in Maryland and Virginia and became Pro Finishes Plus.

PFP currently operates 14 stores in the Mid-Atlantic three state area.
