History

In 1883, Benjamin Moore and his brother Robert opened Moore Brothers in Brooklyn, New York. They started with $2,000 and one product, "Moore's Prepared Calsomine Finish," which was sold exclusively through independent retailers. Moore Brothers built their company on Benjamin Moore's belief in "the exercise of intelligent industry in the spirit of integrity."

Today, Benjamin Moore & Co., a Berkshire Hathaway company, is a manufacturer and retailer of coatings and provider of related goods and services for decoration and preservation. Benjamin Moore & Co. manufactures at 7 plants, distributes from 22 facilities, and sells paints, stains, and finishes through a network of more than 4,000 independent retailers across North America.
