The Miller Paint Company is an employee-owned paint manufacturing company headquartered in Portland, Oregon. The company has more than 50 stores in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.[1]

History

[edit]

Miller Paint was founded in 1890 by Ernest Carl Bernard Mueller, a muralist and house painter who emigrated from Germany to Portland, Oregon.[1][2] After changing the spelling of his last name to Miller, he began doing business as Ernest Miller & Co., and established a storefront in downtown Portland in 1895.[2]

Ernest Miller died in 1937 and was succeeded by his son Walt, who served as CEO and President until 2000.[3] In 2020, Jason Palumbis became the company's fourth CEO, succeeding Steve Dearborn.[1][3][4]
