It doesn't say so on their web site, but I think Clausing goes that big.

They have been in business since 1927 and have a good reputation among 
amateurs.  The last time their name came up on this list, there were 
several favorable comments and no (that I can remember) negative ones.  
They have specifically advertised for amateur business since at least 
the 1950's.  More than one atm (including me) has commented that their 
"Beral" trademark coatings seem to hold up quite well.  With reasonable 
care, and a not too awful environment, ten years seems a minimum 
lifetime.  I have seen closer to 40 years on at least one mirror.  Of 
course, if you live in a dusty alkaline desert, you may not get that.

Chicago area location.
