About Us
About Us
At Little Greene, we are an independent, British paint manufacturer, committed to the socially and environmentally responsible production of high-quality paints and wallpapers. Our paints and wallpapers represent 300 years of decorative history. Referencing the key periods of interior design, from the 17th century to the late 20th century, we’re committed to an ongoing research programme, and are proud to breathe new life into the best colours and patterns from the past.
A family-run business, with our own factory nestled in the foothills of Mount Snowdon in North Wales, we are the only British paint maker still producing a complete range of traditional and modern finishes. Our portfolio includes interior and exterior finishes, floor paints and a signature range of hard- wearing, water-based ‘Intelligent Paints’, especially designed for today’s busy homes.
Our History
With records dating back to the year 1773, the Little Greene Dye Works of Collyhurst Wood, on the outskirts of Manchester is one of England's most ancient industrial sites for the making of paints and dye solutions.
The fundamental principles of formulating and making paints have not changed much since the era of The Little Greene Dye Works. Much of the process is still undertaken by the hands of time-served craftspeople rather than automated machines.
