Across the world – Berger is a name that is synonymous with Paint.

The origin dates back to 1760, when Louis Berger – a young German visionary, started dye and pigment-making business in England. Louis involved his family in the business and eventually changed the status of the company to Louis Berger & Sons Limited. The company grew and expanded rapidly with a strong reputation for excellence in innovation and entrepreneurship. Augmented by the dreams of Louis Berger, the unrelenting expedition for conception and revolution in the world of color and paints still continues.
