A Brief History of Purdy

Purdy made its first paintbrush by hand all the way back in 1925! From that day on, quality was everything. Purdy continued to thrive and grow throughout the 1930s by making brushes as premium as possible. Founder S. Desmond Purdy believed handcrafting was the only way to “build in” superior performance and to build a business. Word of mouth sparks continued business growth and national distribution begins by the mid-1960s. Purdy officially sell brushes and accessories coast to coast and in all 50 states from then on.

Innovation in the New Millennium

In 2008 premium prep-and-finish tools become a natural extension of the Purdy lineup. Today’s Pros trust Purdy innovative surface prep tools to get any surface ready to paint or stain. Painting tight spaces and doing touch-ups are no big deal after Purdy adds mini rollers to its lineup in 2011. Having the perfect tools saves time no matter what size the job.

In 2012, Purdy won the City of Portland Best Practices of Sustainability Award. Purdy Portland employees set a goal to reduce overall energy use in their facility, and they not only exceeded that goal that year, but they continue to embrace and increase sustainability practices throughout their complex today.

Purdy added two innovative products to make today’s painting professional’s workday easier. The Purdy Backpack is the first painter’s backpack designed by Pros for Pros. It features multiple storage spaces for a variety of painting tools. Purdy also introduced the Purdy Pail in 2020. It features multiple grip options, including a flexible bail and coffee-cup-style side grip which can help reduce hand fatigue.
