History

Miller Paint was founded in 1890 by Ernest Carl Bernard Mueller, a muralist and house painter who emigrated from Germany to Portland, Oregon. [1] [2] After changing the spelling of his last name to Miller, he began doing business as Ernest Miller & Co., and established a storefront in downtown Portland in 1895. [2]

Ernest Miller died in 1937 and was succeeded by his son Walt, who served as CEO and President until 2000. [3] In 2020, Jason Palumbis became the company's fourth CEO, succeeding Steve Dearborn. [1] [3] [4] Miller was acquired by Portland based Rodda Paint in December 2024. [5] [6]
