A leader and innovator of waterborne coating technology, Kelly-Moore was the first major paint company to offer recycled paints along with the large selection of colors and decorative sheens. Trusted and preferred by professionals since 1946 as the “Painter’s Paint Store” for its high quality, performance and consistency, Kelly-Moore’s paints are safe and easy to use for everyone.
The company is dedicated to giving back to the communities it serves. This ethos is reflected in its corporate giving program and its numerous industry-leading green business accolades.
Early Beginnings
In 1946, William H. Kelly and William E. Moore recognized the unique need of professional painting contractors for top-quality affordable paint products and knowledgeable, efficient service. This philosophy has allowed Kelly-Moore to grow from a single manufacturing facility and store in San Carlos, Calif., to one of the largest employee-owned paint companies in the United States.
Manufacturing
Kelly-Moore has three strategically located, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in key markets: San Carlos and Sacramento, Calif., and Hurst, Texas (outside Dallas). Its reputation for quality products is unsurpassed in the industry. The company produces some of the most technologically advanced paint products and sets the industry standard for new product development and quality control.
