Proudly serving Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee since 1977
Today’s industrial facilities face a constant barrage of challenges: erosion, corrosion, and physical damage that can disrupt operations, compromise safety, and impact profitability. To provide innovative solutions to these challenges, DBR Associates joined forced with Belzona, a global leader in industrial repair and protection coatings.
We continue to live Don Robertson’s dream
Our story began with a simple dream: Don Robertson, an engineer at Ford Motor Company, saw an opportunity to help businesses with their maintenance needs. He relocated his family from Detroit to Atlanta and established DBR Associates.
From operating out of his home to a historical office in Roswell, GA, and, finally, to our current location in picturesque Gainesville, GA, we’ve grown steadily, driven by a passion for helping our customers and a commitment to family values. Today, Don’s son, David, carries on this legacy, ensuring we stay innovative while remaining grounded in our core values.
