Benjamin
Moore
Benjamin Moore began his business venture in
1883, manufacturing a coating for walls called
Calsom Finish, with his older brother, Robert
M. Moore, in a small building in Brooklyn, New
York.
A profit was made on operations in that first
year and growth of the business came quickly.
In 1889, a New York Corporation was formed;
shortly thereafter the present New Jersey Corporation
was organized.
In his earliest years as founder of the Company,
Benjamin Moore articulated a personal philosophy
that became the company’s first credo.
He believed the company should pursue "The
application of Intelligence to Industry based
upon Integrity."
