Homax
History
Born of Innovation
In 1982, Homax was founded by a young entrepreneur who, while doing a home renovation project, recognized that there were no convenient methods for do-it-yourselfers to patch and repair wall texture. The DIY texture gun was designed and patented to solve this problem and Homax evolved out of this single product. In fact, it remains one of our best-selling products today.
Hundreds of Products and 30+ Patents Later
Homax now serves the worldwide DIY industry with the leading brands of the most extensive selection of texture "patch & repair" products available. The entrepreneurial spirit (and the success) continues at Homax, as we continue to pursue only the most innovative and performance-related products.
Accelerated Excellence
In 1996, Homax was acquired by a private investement company. In the intervening years, Homax’s reach was expanded with the acquisition of four other companies—companies with business philosophies based on the pursuit of excellence. The resulting synergies from these acquisitions only enhanced and accelerated our ability to pursue the creation of innovative products and growth opportunities. We’re now able to exceed the expectations of the most demanding dealers, retailers and their customers.
Olympus Partners
In 2004, Olympus Partners purchased Homax. Olympus has not skipped a beat. Our focus on excellence is even more sharpened. With backing from Olympus, Homax has acquired four more companies that compliment our mix of product offerings.
Our goal is to be a progressive and innovative company that nurtures excellent employees and, in turn, creates happy customers and a broad range of cutting-edge products. With literally thousands of SKUs in our inventory, customers are now turning to us as a "one-stop shop." And our approach is finally yielding remarkable dividends. As one example, Lowe's named Homax its 2004 Vendor of the Year in the Paint Department. We’re proud of this achievement and we look forward to more mutually rewarding business successes with all of our customers.
