Surface Protection & Refinishing for Heavy Equipment and Aircraft in North Dakota
Snow & Fleet
Nous & Company provides refinishing services, education and effeciency training, wash and protection products focusing on reducing labor and chemical cost while extending equipment longevity while improving profitability.
We identify industrial paint systems surface patterns and develop custom restoration/refinishing solutions for each client based on their operating environment.
Protection Is Only Part of A System water, chemistry, maintenance, and environmental exposure all affect how long protection lasts—and how well equipment retains its condition and value.
Nous comes from the Greek word for mind, intellect, perception, and understanding. Company represents people brought together around a common purpose. Together, they define our approach: analysis first, then refine.
Nearly 20 years of experience, including direct training and guidance from a respected industry expert, combined with principles from infrared and radio-frequency technology, chemistry, and materials science, shaped the foundation of our methods.
That combined knowledge has helped us move beyond traditional refinishing methods to better understand surface behavior, restore damaged paint systems, reduce unnecessary labor and trial and error, and protect the long-term condition of working equipment. Based in Fargo, North Dakota.
