Daler-Rowney Simply Oil Pastels

Daler-Rowney is one of the world's most established manufacturers of artist supplies, with roots tracing back to 1783 in London. The brand was formed in 1983 through the merger of the George Rowney Company and the Daler Board Company. Known for high-quality pigments, the company has historically supplied legendary artists such as J.M.W. Turner and John Constable.

While Daler-Rowney's core paint manufacturing remains based in Bracknell, United Kingdom, the production of their entry-level 'Simply' range often takes place in various global locations to ensure affordability. Specific items like brushes are manufactured in the Dominican Republic, and certain pastel products have been sourced from South Korea or China. Since 2016, the brand has been a key subsidiary of the Italian conglomerate F.I.L.A. Group (Fabbrica Italiana Lapis ed Affini), which has further integrated its global distribution and production networks.
