About this listen
In this episode of The Painter’s Business Podcast, host Stephanie Stover sits down with Robert Dahlstrom, CEO and Founder of Apellix — the company that’s revolutionizing the industrial coatings industry with robotic drones that paint, clean, and protect massive structures.
Robert shares how a near accident on a scaffold led to a world-changing idea: drones that could safely and efficiently handle painting, pressure washing, and corrosion protection for everything from bridges to skyscrapers — even U.S. military facilities.
You’ll learn:
✅ How the “war on corrosion” costs the U.S. economy 3% of GDP every year
✅ How Apellix drones deliver outsized ROI by replacing scaffolding with safer, faster tech
✅ What industrial and commercial painters can expect as aerial robotics go mainstream
✅ Why drones won’t replace painters — they’ll multiply profits and create new opportunities
If you’ve ever wondered where technology and the painting industry collide, this episode will blow your mind.
👉 Watch, learn, and share this with another growth-minded painting contractor.
