Benjamin Moore, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, is expanding its global footprint with the launch of two new wholly owned subsidiaries: BM Prudhoe Limited in England and C&R Scotland Limited in Scotland. The move marks the company’s second subsidiary in England and its first in Scotland, reinforcing its growth strategy across the United Kingdom and beyond.
Both entities will operate independently within their regions, helping to expand access to Benjamin Moore’s premium paints and coatings. As part of their rollout, each subsidiary has announced key initiatives to support long-term growth.
BM Prudhoe Limited has reached an agreement to acquire a manufacturing facility in Northern England from Horizon Products, a step expected to boost production capacity and strengthen supply chain stability in the region. Meanwhile, C&R Scotland Limited has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire the historic Craig & Rose brand, a heritage paint company founded in 1829. The acquisition will add a design-focused offering to Benjamin Moore’s portfolio, targeting professional contractors, architects and designers, and high-end consumers in the UK market.
According to CEO Dan Calkins, the establishment of these subsidiaries represents a significant milestone in the company’s global expansion strategy, enhancing its ability to meet rising demand for premium paints among both professionals and homeowners.
