Company History

In 1926, Joseph Lieberman founded Lieberman Brush in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His three sons helped Liebco Brush become a nationally recognized name as professional painters throughout the country sought out the brushes and spread the word. In the 1940’s and 1950’s, Mort Mauthe was making American’s first roller covers by nailing dense lambskin pelt to cylindrical pieces of wood. His company would become Bestt Rollr®, based in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

In 1969, Joseph Lieberman and Sons acquired Bestt Rollr and became Bestt Liebco®, a full-line paint applicator company. In 1983, the three brothers sold Bestt Liebco to RAF Industries, a private investment firm. In 1988, RAF sold Bestt Liebco and Purdy (acquired in 1994) to Bessemer holdings. Bessemer created Paint Sundry Brands, and in 1999, added Warren Applicators to the family. 

In 2004, Sherwin Williams Corporation purchased Paint Sundry Brands from Bessemer Holdings. At the time, Paint Sundry Brands included Purdy, Symphony (now Symphony by Purdy), and Bestt Liebco brands.

Bestt Liebco continues to produce quality products adding paint trays, extension poles, mini-rollers and a variety of specialty paintbrushes and roller covers in the line. Quick Solutions by Bestt Liebco is a line of pad painters, texture rollers, trim and edge tools, mini-kits and artist brushes.
