About Glidden Professional^™ Paints

Glidden Professional^™ paints is the only national brand of decorative coatings dedicated exclusively to serving the needs of the professional marketplace. We are a recognized leader in no-VOC waterborne paints, and bring many years of experience to a wide range of industries including Education, Healthcare, Government, and Multi-Family Housing.

The Glidden Professional story is rooted in two simple truths:

• To listen and respond to our customers
• To be dedicated exclusively to the needs of the professional marketplace

To fulfill this mission, we've built our business around four key building blocks:

Collaborative Business Building

This is all about listening to our customers and reacting in the most productive way to help grow our customers' business. We have committed to this approach because it has proven itself as the best way to develop close, mutually beneficial partnerships with our customers.

Commercial Service Experience

We are focused 100% on the needs of the professional market. If there is a way to deliver better, more responsive service to our professional customers, we'll find it. A factor that makes Glidden Professional different is the innovation we put into solving distribution challenges. We know that what our customers really care about is getting their order on time, every time, without excuses. Currently, 89% of the U.S. population lives within one hour of our distribution network. This commitment to uninterrupted supply will get you the largest volume of paint in the shortest amount of time.

Best-for-Task Products

This is the promise we make to supply our customers with the most appropriate assortment of products, tailored to their specific needs. That means taking into account regional conditions and codes, material and color trends, and varying application techniques. To ensure that our products stay competitive, we conduct regular, ongoing competitive benchmarking.

Eco Leadership

Today, people are looking for paints that offer more than just color, coverage and durability. They're demanding solutions that are environmentally conscious, as well. Responding to these demands presents both enormous challenges and new opportunities. For the architect, property manager or owner, it means solving real customer needs while attaining coveted LEED points. For the painting contractor, it is one more place to establish competitive differentiation and grow new business.

Our Think Impact program sets goals to minimize the environmental impact throughout the entire product lifecycle – and we are committed to putting those goals into action, with measurable results.
