Combination strengthens in-house metal fabrication and finishing capabilities for SWFL customers
NAPLES (July 8, 2026) – Hoffmann Family of Companies (“HF Companies”), a U.S.-based, family‑owned firm, today announced the acquisition of Naples Powder Coating, Collier County's largest production powder coating facility, and its integration into Sunmaster of Naples ("Sunmaster"), HF Companies' Naples-based manufacturer of custom awnings, ornamental metal products, and storm protection systems since 1969.
Naples Powder Coating serves customers across marine, automotive, architectural, and residential markets — from T-tops and rod holders to gates, railings, and patio furniture. Led by husband-wife duo Audrey and Kyle Hogg, the company is known for its state-of-the-art Nordson equipment and for being home to Collier County's largest curing oven. It also recently added in-house sand blasting on raw materials, a natural upstream complement to its powder coating work.
"Today's news of our acquisition of Naples Powder Coating underscores our deep commitment to Naples and its business scene," said David Hoffmann, Chairman & Founder of HF Companies. "There's a real void in the market for a reliable, high-end powder coating partner, and pairing that capability with a brand of Sunmaster's quality is exactly how we plan to fill it."
Naples Powder Coating's capabilities are highly complementary to Sunmaster's existing metal fabrication business, which produces awnings, custom railings, staircases, gates, fences, pergolas, and the Titan Screen® line of motorized retractable screens. Hoffmann Commercial Real Estate has also acquired the entire building housing the powder coating operation — of which Naples Powder Coating currently occupies only one-third — signaling a commitment to expanding coating capacity and delivering a complete, full-service offering to existing customers and new ones alike.
"Naples Powder Coating fills a gap we've long wanted to close. Bringing finishing under our umbrella means faster turnaround and tighter quality control for every piece of metal that leaves our shop — and for outside customers, too," said John Wilkinson, CEO of Sunmaster. "Our plans include updating outdated equipment and reviewing all procedures to ensure they're in line with our standard of quality. As an end user for over 50 years, we know what our customers expect, and making that our No. 1 priority is exactly how we'll approach this new addition to the Hoffmann portfolio."
HF Companies' Naples portfolio spans more than 30 local companies, from Sunmaster to Naples Princess to The Augusta Clothing Company, Jerri Hoffmann's new fashion boutique on 5th Avenue South. The family's Midwest dairy business, Oberweis, is also coming to Southwest Florida, with its first location opening in Cape Coral in 2027.
