Pinchin Johnson & Associates was a major supplier of paints for a large range of end-users during the first half of the twentieth century. The company was part of the original FT 30 index.

History

The business was founded in 1834 as a producer of oils and turpentines in Silvertown in London. It grew by acquisition buying up competitors such as Red Hand and Docker Brothers. It had larger operations in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and India and smaller operations in the United States of America, Nigeria and the Far East.
