The History of Jotun

Jotun's founder, Odd Gleditsch sr., opens a combined colour/ship supply store in Sandefjord. It was a good time for the whaling industry, and Gleditsch sr. soon worked his way into the business of supplier to the whaling fleets in Sandefjord, Tønsberg, and Larvik. Odd Gleditsch sr. played a very special role in the development of Jotun. His personality had an extraordinary influence on the company, on employees, among customers, and on everyone with whom he came in contact. He had a particular gift for creating enthusiasm among employees at all levels. He once said; "If I have a secret weapon, it is my ability to find able employees and to listen, and listen carefully, to their thoughts, suggestions and ideas." Many people would say that it was this very way of thinking that created the able employees.

1926: The start of Jotun Chemical Factory

As sales to the whaling fleet increased, Gleditsch sr. saw the pontential in manufacturing the paint himself. On 12th March 1926, Gleditsch sr. invited shareholders to subscribe to the new company. With a share capital of NOK 60 000, Jotun Kemiske Fabrik A/S was founded, with Odd Gleditsch sr. as managing director. The Jotun Group has total sales of NOK 11 350 million (USD 1 952 million) and 8740 employees, 71 companies in 45 countries, and 36 production facilities in 19 countries. The company is represented in more than 90 countries around the world. To read our full Jotun paint review listings, view each individual product above.
