1923 saw the birth of one of the very first factories in Italy to manufacture artists' paints and varnishes: Fratelli Maimeri. The company was founded on the combination of artistic interest and techniques of the painter, Gianni Maimeri (1884 - 1951) and his brother's chemical knowledge (Carlo Maimeri, 1886 - 1957).

At the beginning of the 20th, the painter Gianni Maimeri channeled his artistic genius and mastery of science to forge an ambitious plan: to produce artists’ colors on an industrial scale while sticking to traditional formulas without compromises.

During these years, Gianni Maimeri Jr, undertook to increase and spread the Maimeri trademark around the world in an ambitious challenge which was based on Maimeri's winning factors such as: product quality, company experience, Made In Italy, family tradition and the company's history.

Today Maimeri is known for making world-class oil and watercolor paints. All Maimeri paints and mediums are made in Italy and contain top-quality binders and pigments. Read More+
