In a significant development within the local paint industry, Miller Paint, a cherished brand established in the late 1800s, has been acquired by its competitor, Rodda Paint. This move marks a new chapter for both companies, which have deep roots in Portland and a shared commitment to quality. Miller Paint has been employee-owned since 1999, fostering a strong community and a dedicated workforce that has contributed to its enduring legacy.
The acquisition is expected to create new opportunities for growth and innovation while preserving the unique heritage of Miller Paint.

As the two companies come together, stakeholders are optimistic about the potential for expanded resources and improved services for customers. This merger not only signifies a strategic business decision but also reflects the evolving landscape of the paint industry in Portland.
