Story

As one of only five manufacturers nationwide making bulk nail polish and coatings at the time the project began, Gloss-Tex Industries had outgrown its facilities in Newark, New Jersey. A decision to move prompted the construction of new facilities in the Industrial Park. The front portion of the building contains offices and mechanical facilities on two floors, each measuring 1,400 square feet. The rear of the building is the manufacturing area of the bulk coatings. The raw material's flashpoint is highly variable, ranging from very low to very high, creating a high-hazard area.

The metal panels on the rear and sides of the building are explosion relief panels that open to vent internal pressure in the event of an explosion.

This facility is currently owned and operated by FIABILA USA Inc., Linden, NJ.
