1978 – Humble Beginnings
Since its beginnings in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, Nour Trading House Inc. has been passionate about creating exceptional paint applicators. Mac Fleifel, a 2nd generation paint brush maker, opened his painting tools manufacturing business in 1978 on Colby Drive in Waterloo where Nour’s headquarters remain today.
Nour’s reputation as a manufacturer of quality paint applicators grew throughout Canada, which prompted the construction of a distribution facility in Coquitlam, British Columbia. This western expansion in 1981 transformed Nour into a nationwide supplier of paint applicators and greatly improved overall service to our customers in British Columbia, Alberta, and the Yukon. By 1983, Nour Trading House Inc. began manufacturing paint rollers in Waterloo, Canada. To this day, our paint rollers are wound by hand in order to ensure our commitment to an utmost consistency and quality for our roller covers.
The iconic Tradition line was introduced in 1984 and quickly became a customer favourite due to its reliability in outperforming other brushes in the marketplace.
1985 – Vietnam Facility Opened
Providing products with an exacting and consistent quality has always been a primary criterion of Nour’s business practice. We thus opened our first manufacturing facility in Hanoi, Vietnam, allowing us to achieve vertical integration, which in effect enabled us to be virtually in control of all aspects of production.
2000 – Multinational Operations
Growing international demand has reshaped Nour into a multinational Canadian business. To accommodate a strong growth in international sales, distribution facilities were opened in Lebanon and England in 1989. In 2000, Nour further solidified its multinational operations by inaugurating its first manufacturing facility in Egypt in order to enhance our production and regional presence.
Nour brand continues to grow with new market places, market leading technology and we at Paint Monster will continue to extol the virtues of the brand and product for many years to come.
