Berger Paints had its colourful beginnings in 1760, when Lewis Berger, an enterprising young German chemist had his big breakthrough. He had perfected the manufacturing process for Prussian Blue, one of the most important pigments of that period. This achievement marked the arrival of Berger Paints as a modern paint manufacturing company. Today, Berger Paints is a global force with a strong presence in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean Islands, the South Pacific, and the Middle East.
