Glidden
Glidden traces its origins to 1875 in Cleveland, Ohio, founded by Francis Glidden, and the company grew into one of the most recognized mainstream paint brands in American households throughout the 20th century, widely known for its longtime advertising slogan touting reliable, everyday quality. The brand has changed corporate ownership several times over the decades, passing through SCM Corporation, Imperial Chemical Industries, and Dutch conglomerate Akzo Nobel, before its North American operations were ultimately sold to PPG Industries in 2013. Glidden has historically positioned itself as a solidly reliable, moderately priced paint brand aimed at everyday homeowners rather than competing at the premium end of the market occupied by brands like Benjamin Moore, maintaining broad distribution through major retailers. Glidden's combination of its nearly 150-year history as one of America's most recognized household paint names and its multiple corporate ownership transitions has made it one of the most enduringly familiar paint brands in the country.
VS
Valspar
Valspar traces its origins to 1806 in Boston, making it one of the oldest paint and coatings companies in American history, and the company grew over two centuries into a major national paint brand before being acquired by Sherwin-Williams in 2017 for approximately $11.3 billion. The company built significant distribution through a long-standing retail partnership with Lowe's, similar in structure to Behr's exclusive relationship with Home Depot, giving Valspar a comparably strong nationwide retail footprint through one of the two largest home improvement chains. Valspar's acquisition by Sherwin-Williams was one of the largest deals in the history of the paint and coatings industry, consolidating two major American paint manufacturers under one parent company while Valspar has continued operating its Lowe's-focused retail brand. Valspar's combination of its origins as one of the oldest paint companies in American history and its landmark $11.3 billion acquisition by Sherwin-Williams has made it one of the most historically significant paint brands in the industry.
