EXACO USA Ltd. is a family owned company in Austin, Texas that introduced the Exomixer paint mixing blade to the U.S. market in the late 1980's. The company has been a vendor to major home center chains and national distributors for 17 years and prides itself on its relationship with a sheltered workshop in Austin that provides jobs for persons with mental disabilities.

The main activity of Exaco USA is the production and distribution of its Exomixer line: the original vertically blending steel paint stirrer used in power drills. Exaco USA introduced the Exomixer into the U.S. market in 1987. The mixers have been manufactured in Mexico since 1990.

EXACO USA Ltd. was established in 1988 by Vice President Andrew Cook. He was later joined in 1999 by CEO Kimberly Tyson Cook. While Exaco USA has long been a leader in providing paint mixing blades and associated products, the company has a separate sister company, Exaco Trading Co., which imports consumer products from Europe and Asia.
