Donwell Co., The
The Donwell Company (registered as “DONWELL COMPANY, THE”) is a domestic stock corporation in Connecticut, account number 0013996. It filed its Certificate of Incorporation with the Connecticut Secretary of the State on 4 June 1957, and the register shows its status as Active. The company applies industrial coatings. Working from 130 Sheldon Road, Manchester, Connecticut, it puts high-performance coatings onto parts supplied by its customers. These coatings include PTFE (Teflon™) fluoropolymers, dry and solid film lubricants, Xylan® and Everlube®.
According to the company’s website, it has been a licensed industrial applicator of Teflon™ coatings since DuPont (now Chemours) introduced its licensing programme. The website also says it applies coatings to aerospace, military, medical and industrial specifications, including MIL-PRF-46010. Its equipment handles parts from miniature size up to 20 feet (about 6 metres). The markets it lists include medical parts, electronics, valves, pumps, bearings, seals and gaskets, as well as FDA-compliant coatings for food processing. These statements come from the company itself. Chemours’ own directory of licensed applicators could not be accessed to confirm the licence.
Federal procurement records show the company as a small business that has supplied the US Army. USAspending.gov lists nine Department of Defense contract awards to The Donwell Company between August 2007 and November 2024, with about US$520,900 obligated in total. Most were for coating cable protectors, including 60mm coated cable protectors delivered to Pine Bluff Arsenal. These were ordered under an indefinite-delivery contract, W52P1J20D3004, which ran from January 2020 to January 2025.
The company’s revenue and headcount are not published. It sponsors a 401(k) plan, effective 1 January 1996. Its Form 5500-SF for 2024 reports 57 plan participants at the start of the year. That is a count of plan participants, not employees. The Connecticut register records 6,000 authorised shares. No SBA Paycheck Protection Program loan under the Donwell name appears in any of SBA’s 13 public PPP files.
Records use different forms of the company’s name: “The Donwell Company, Inc.” on its website and benefit-plan filings, and “Donwell Co, The” in federal award data. The benefit-plan filings (EIN 06-0721966) and the federal records give the same address as the state register. Connecticut’s filing history also records amendments on 6 March 1972, 4 January 2022 and 12 December 2024. The content of these amendments is not published in the open data.

Shareholders
Shareholders of The Donwell Company
No shareholders of The Donwell Company are disclosed in any public source reviewed. The company is a domestic Connecticut stock corporation (account number 0013996). The Connecticut register records 6,000 authorised shares but not how many are issued or who holds them. Connecticut does not publish shareholder lists for private corporations. The company has no filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission: an EDGAR company search for “Donwell” returned no match, while the same search for a control company did return results. That means no public ownership filings exist.
In its federal contractor registration, reported through USAspending.gov, the company describes itself as a “U.S.-Owned Business” and a small business. This is the company’s own declaration. It does not name any owners.
Data availability
Not public. Connecticut does not publish shareholders or beneficial owners of private corporations, and the company files nothing with the SEC. The lack of a public list does not mean the company has no shareholders or beneficial owners. No UBO can be identified from public sources.

Officers
Directors and officers of The Donwell Company
The Connecticut Secretary of the State’s principals register lists one principal for The Donwell Company (Connecticut account number 0013996): Tracey B. Sherman, designated “Officer”. The register does not give a specific title (such as President or Secretary), an appointment date, or any resignation. It names no director. Tracey Sherman is also the company’s registered agent. The same name appears as the employer/plan sponsor signatory on the company’s Form 5500-SF benefit-plan filings for 2023 and 2024, signed on 26 September 2024 and 3 October 2025. The most recent annual report on file is dated 15 May 2026, and the register data was retrieved on 30 September 2026.
This entry is taken directly from the state’s register. It replaces the stored provider note, which said officer data was not available for this jurisdiction. That note is wrong: Connecticut publishes principals for every business on its register.
Data availability
Partial. The Connecticut register gives names and a broad designation (Officer or Director), but not specific titles, appointment dates or a history of former officers. It does not record nationality, so nationality is not disclosed. A private company’s full board is not published anywhere, so this list should not be read as complete.
