The company was founded in 1899 by former banker Marten Talens, as "Talens & Co.", a Dutch factory that produced paint, varnish and ink. Whilst this initially involved only office supplies, in 1899 it started to produce Rembrandt oil colours as well. In 1904 the company name was changed to "Talens & Zoon", when son Hildebrand Talens became a partner in the business. Exports to the United States and Russia commenced in 1905. In 1912 a sales office opened up in the United States. The factory, too, expanded, and in 1920 it switched to steam power. A local ink factory was also taken over and the company put into operation its own tin factory. In 1927 a new head office was built. The building's architect was P.W. van den Belt, and it now enjoys the status of an industrial monument. More information...
