Company Overview

Canvas was founded in 2017 in San Francisco and is recognized as the developer of the world's first robotic drywall finishing system. The company's flagship machine, the 1200CX, delivers Level 4 and Level 5 drywall finishes autonomously, reducing repetitive motion injuries by 70%, capturing 99% of dust, and compressing mud application and sanding cycles to one day each. Canvas systems are deployed across commercial, healthcare, data center, and government construction projects, including notable installations at San Francisco International Airport and Chase Arena Towers.

In January 2026, JLG Industries acquired Canvas's core technology and team, integrating the platform into JLG's broader jobsite automation strategy. Canvas CEO Kevin Albert and the San Francisco-based engineering team continued operations under JLG, advancing the 1200CX product roadmap. The platform helps contractors address skilled labor shortages while improving productivity and jobsite safety.
