In 1923 one of the first Italian factories of colors and varnishes for Fine Arts saw the light: Fratelli Maimeri. Its foundation came from the meeting of the artistic and technical interests of the painter Gianni Maimeri (1884 – 1951) and the chemical knowledge of his brother Carlo (1886 – 1957). The project for a paint factory and the first agreements took place at the same time as the choice of the site and the first experimental productions, which took place in the historic former Mulino Blondel factory, in Barona, on the outskirts of Milan. Subsequently, on January 27, 1925, F.lli Maimeri S.A. was established. together with Giovanni Ticozzi and Baron Silvio in Prato.

Italian company leader in the production of artistic products, unique in their composition, such as oils, acrylics, watercolors of various types, from amateur ones, for schools, up to professional products of very fine manufacturing such as pure maimeri oil, unique for its pigmentation.

The company also boasts the production of similar products such as mediums (walnut oil, linseed oil, chalk etc.) to make the use of its materials multiple and varied with different techniques.
