Daler-Rowney art materials

Daler-Rowney is one of the world's most storied manufacturers of fine art materials, with a heritage dating back to 1783 when brothers Thomas and Richard Rowney began as wig suppliers and perfumers in London before diversifying into artists' colors. The modern company was formed in 1983 through the merger of the Daler Board Company (founded 1946) and George Rowney & Company.

Today, Daler-Rowney maintains a significant manufacturing presence in both Europe and the Caribbean. Its headquarters and primary factory for colors, inks, and paper products are located in Bracknell, United Kingdom. Additionally, the company operates a specialized facility in La Romana, Dominican Republic, which is dedicated to the production of high-quality artist brushes and canvases.

Since February 2016, Daler-Rowney has been a key subsidiary of the F.I.L.A. (Fabbrica Italiana Lapis ed Affini) Group, an Italian multinational conglomerate that is a global leader in the production of writing and art materials. This ownership has allowed the brand to expand its reach while maintaining its historical reputation for quality among both professional artists and students.
