Accudraft (SAIMA of North America Inc.) is a leading manufacturer and systems integrator for the finishing systems industry.
Founded in 1981, owner Guy Pippa was committed to bringing the auto collision industry a high production machine that would not only let the average shop produce jobs faster but also allow them to produce factory finishes. It all started with one singular paint booth system that set the tone for our entire company and our commitment to high quality.
Today, Accudraft has grown far beyond one product. We now engineer finishing solutions for all industries in markets across the entire western hemisphere. In addition to the automotive and truck industry, Accudraft custom manufacturers, designs, and builds finishing systems and paint booths for the aircraft, marine vessel, train and rail car, and many other industries that need spray finishing enclosures and solutions. We now have the capability to handle large-scale projects and act as a general contractor instead of solely a paint booth installer by building finishing systems from the ground up.
Accudraft holds itself to the highest standard so that we may produce an excellent experience for our customers. We design and engineer our products around the user and are continually improving designs and materials to bring you durable finishing systems that will last a lifetime. We also specialize in paint booth maintenance—whether it’s an Accudraft system or from another manufacturer. Our service team is available for scheduled maintenance or emergency repairs.
Our clients vary from local shops to national manufacturers. We work with businesses across all industries—automotive, industrial, truck, aerospace, marine, and train and rail. No matter the size of a business, we’re able to provide custom solutions with our high-quality, high-performing finishing systems. Our ability to install, maintain, and service equipment keeps our clients satisfied and happy to work with Accudraft.
