The Flood Company has served the Paint Industry for more than
160 years. Established in Cleveland, Ohio in 1841 as a paint
contracting firm, the company quickly achieved a reputation
for outstanding quality and craftsmanship. Back then, services
included lettering canal barges for $2.50 a boat, decorating
buggies for $11, or a wagon for half that much. The business
later expanded into hardwood finishing, exterior, and interior
house and commercial architectural painting. For the next 87
years, the company was responsible for the painting and custom
wood finishing on many historical homes, churches, and commercial
buildings in the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
In 1934, under the leadership of Earl D. Flood, the company
expanded into manufacturing and distribution with the introduction
of Penetrol®, a high solids, durable paint oil used alone
as a protective coating for wood and metal or as a paint additive,
to assure smooth and easy application of oil based paints and
varnishes. So outstanding was its performance that today, Penetrol
has a worldwide reputation for quality and performance among
painting contractors and marine and industrial firms. Today,
some 160 years later, Penetrol is still recognised as the best
additive for oil and alkyd based paint, where it is used in
place of conventional thinners. Over the years other specialty
products, such as well known E-B Emulsabond and Floetrol, have
been developed by Flood as well as a whole range of innovative
wood care products.
In 2006 the Flood Company was acquired by Akzo Nobel, the world's
largest paint company. With the backing of their huge resources,
research continues at Flood headquarters in Hudson Ohio to produce
paint additives and wood finishes to make life easier for both
the professional paint contractor as well as the home handyman.
