What We Do

Jotun is one of the leading paint manufacturers in the world. With a wide range of products within interior decoration and exterior protection, the Jotun logo can be found in more than 100 countries.

The company was founded in Sandefjord, Norway in 1926. The fonder Odd Gleditsch Sr. had witnessed whaling boats rusting away in the Antarctic. He quickly discovered the penguins; these caring creatures that overcame the toughest weather conditions. The penguin soon became Jotun’s official symbol and ambassador of the company’s values: Loyalty, Care, Respect, and Boldness.

Almost a century later, our mission remains the same: “Jotun Protects Property”. Jotun has grown into a multi-national company widely renown for high-quality paints and coatings.
