Morrells is a strong and enduring brand trusted by over 7000 discerning customers across the UK, Ireland and beyond. From the great cabinet makers of the early 1900s to today’s high-end furniture manufacturers and the grand designs of modern retail interiors, the best have always demanded the best. Morrells’ customers are proud of their design, their joinery, their cabinet making and they insist on a world class finish to complete the job.
In April 2015, RPM International Inc. acquired Morrells Woofinishes Ltd, the UK's largest manufacturer of high-performance wood finishes. RPM, based in Cleveland, Ohio, are a New York Stock Exchange listed company with annual sales over US$5 billion. Morrells not only remain a stand-alone operation, but also head RPM's Specialist Wood Coatings Division in Europe.
Upon acquisition, Frank C. Sullivan, RPM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated "with a strong management team, led by Chief Executives Scott Drayton and Tony O'Connor, who will stay on to run the business, a portfolio of advanced technologies and a customer-centric distribution strategy, Morrells is an excellent fit within our Wood Finishes Group. We intend to accelerate Morrells' growth by leveraging its coatings technologies across the RPM network."
