Wattyl Taubmans

Wattyl Taubmans is one of New Zealand and Australia's major paint and surface coatings companies that produces a broad range of paints, varnishes, lacquers and special purpose protective coatings. Our products are used by individuals, contract painters and industrial customers.

 

With operations in Australia and New Zealand, Wattyl employs over 2000 people. The Company's origins date back to 1915 where, in an Australian backyard, H.R.Walters developed a treatment for reviving French-polished furniture. This innovative product, known as 'Crystal Veneer' became an immediate success and laid the foundation of Wattyl's future success.

From its humble backyard beginnings to its listing on the Australian Stock Exchange in 1959, Wattyl through innovation, research and development, acquisitions, and organic growth has become the leading Australasian-owned paint manufacturer.
