Diamond Vogel
We embrace our past, and it shapes our future. We are as mindful of our inception as we are of our innovations. Here’s why. Our founder, Andrew Vogel, a colorful but stubborn Dutch immigrant, decided that the only paint good enough for the barns and homes in the varied and often harsh midwest climate was paint he perfected himself. So in 1926, with two small grinding machines, each capable of making five gallons of paint, Andrew launched Vogel Paint and Wax Company.
The third generation grew up in the company and started on the front lines, clerking stores, cleaning vats, making paint, calling on customers. This breadth of experiences has given them an appreciation and passion for the paint business. Today, they have taken the reins and lead with dedication, experience and forward thinking resolve.
In 1967 Vogel Paint bought the Diamond Products Manufacturing company of Marshalltown, Iowa and in the early 70’s the company started to do business as Diamond Vogel Paints® to capitalize on the strong brand recognition of each company. Other key acquisitions have expanded the company both in technology and geographic reach. |
