Harris Ultimate Walls & Ceilings paintbrush

Harris is a venerable British brand that has been a staple in the decorating industry since its founding in 1928 by Leslie George Harris. Originally established as the Midland Trading Company in Birmingham, the business grew to become the UK's leading manufacturer of paintbrushes and rollers. The brand is well-known for its technical innovations, such as the 'Blade Technology' and 'No-Loss' bristle systems featured on the Ultimate series, which are designed to prevent shedding and ensure precise application.

Historically a family-run enterprise based in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, L.G. Harris & Co Ltd was acquired in 2016 by the Norwegian conglomerate Orkla Group. Following this acquisition, the brand became part of Orkla House Care, consolidating its position within a global portfolio of home improvement brands. While the company maintains a historical presence in the UK, modern high-volume manufacturing for the retail market is largely carried out at their dedicated facility in China, which was established in 2003 to support their international distribution network.
