Solving challenges is the very foundation of who we are. After all our founder sea captain Robert Fergusson didnt particularly set out to invent rust preventive paint. He just wanted to keep his ship intact and stumbled upon a valuable solution. Today that discovery is Rust-Oleum Corporation.

Founded in 1921 the same passion that drove the captain to create the worlds first rust-preventative paint still drives us today. When we see a problem we work diligently until weve perfected a solution which has led to some of the most cutting edge durable and innovative products in the industry. Our creative and talented team of over 2000 people across every corner of the world help us remain the global leader in protective paints and coatings for both home and industry.
