Preferred, Inc. was established in 1972 as a small painting company and quickly grew to one of the nation’s largest contractors. Realizing the need to expand into other services, Preferred launched their flooring operation in 1992. Five years later, the company was split into 3 separate organizations and the Indianapolis operation was purchased by John Norton. At this point, Preferred had expanded beyond the regional industrial clients to a broad list of national customers, which also included some international work. In 2010, Preferred changed their name to Preferred Global, Inc. to better represent their business. In 2016, Preferred Global acquired Shank Painting, a commercial and industrial painting nationwide painting company for more than forty years.
