Cloverdale Paint has had a special relationship with its customers ever since the company was founded in 1933. That relationship was built on a commitment to exceptional quality and superior customer service. From humble beginnings on a farm near Cloverdale, BC, we’ve grown into one of North America’s largest regional paint and coatings manufacturers.
A Brief History…
Cloverdale Paint was founded in 1933 by a farmer, chemist and paint manufacturer Rudy Henke. Business grew steadily as people discovered the quality and personal service that Rudy offered. In 1946, Hunter Vogel recognized the opportunity in Rudy’s paint business and purchased a 50% share in the company becoming co-founder of Cloverdale Paint.
Hunter’s drive and determination were the fuel for rapid growth. Our current Chairman is Wink Vogel, Hunter’s son. During the 1950’s and 60’s the powerhouse father and son team opened branches throughout the Fraser Valley and Vancouver. From 1968 to 1975 the company again doubled in size.
Moving Into New Direction
During the explosive growth of Cloverdale Paint in the late 60’s, Alberta’s Monarch Paint was acquired and the present factory was built at 6950 King George Highway in Surrey, British Columbia. In the 70’s, extensive research and development, new bulk raw materials handling and the first color matching and formulation computer in Western Canada allowed Cloverdale to emerge as a leading supplier of industrial coatings. New product lines included air dry and bake enamels for the OEM market, coatings for the oil and gas industry, maintenance coatings for fabricators, machinery and equipment along with coatings for the B.C. forest industry. This broadened the company’s competitive product lines and moved it into new and exciting markets. During the 80’s and 90’s additional focus went to servicing large paint contractors and institutional maintenance buyers of architectural paint.
