Berger is one of the oldest names in the paint industry and the country’s major specialty paints business with products and ingredients dating back more than 250 years. Louis Berger, a German national, founded a dye and pigment-making business in England in 1760. Louis Berger & Sons Limited grew rapidly with a strong reputation for innovation and entrepreneurship, culminating in perfecting the process of making Prussian-Blue, a deep blue dye– a color widely used for the uniforms of many European armies. Production of dyes and pigments evolved into production of paints and coatings, which till today, remains the core business of Berger. The company grew rapidly by establishing branches all over the world and through mergers and acquisitions with other leading paint and coating manufacturing companies.
