Pratt & Lambert History

Founded in 1849 in Buffalo, New York, Pratt & Lambert today ranks among the nation’s largest paint manufacturers and is a leading producer of architectural finishes and heavy-duty maintenance coatings for both the industrial and consumer markets. Pratt & Lambert has always stood for quality, leadership and innovation in the paint industry. Corporate headquarters are located in Cleveland, Ohio.

Throughout the years, the Pratt & Lambert name has been associated with high quality. In 1908, Pratt & Lambert opened an industrial research laboratory dedicated to developing new products and ensuring quality control. In the 1930s it was recognized for making the finest, most durable alkyd (oil-based) products. In the 1950s the focus was on developing latex (water-based) products. During this time, Pratt & Lambert also distinguished itself as the color leader in the paint industry with innovative calibration methods used to coordinate color schemes.

By constantly monitoring emerging technologies and raw materials, Pratt & Lambert continued to develop top-of-the-line paint products. In 1980, it introduced premium Accolade® brand paint. Accolade won recognition for its superior performance in the 1990s when a leading consumer testing organization called it "the best performing latex paint in the market today." This honor was again bestowed upon the Accolade Exterior Eggshell finish in 2002.

Pratt and Lambert products are marketed through independent dealers, distributors and company service centers for application by consumers, contractors and maintenance users. Architectural products focus on coatings for the home and institutional environments, such as schools, hospitals, retail establishments and manufacturing locations, while Industrial products are directed towards coatings for original equipment manufacturers, packaging and paper converting, general aviation, steel fabrication, furniture production and a wide variety of other applications. Pratt & Lambert products are manufactured at locations throughout the United States and can be purchased nationwide as well as in Canada.

In 1999, Pratt & Lambert celebrated its 150th anniversary with a renewed commitment to our customers.

In 2004, we are updating our brand tag line to "Never Compromise". This statement of confidence sets the tone for the next 150 years of product quality leadership in our industry, and solidifies our dedication to providing the finest materials available to the painter, the architect, the designer, and homeowner.
