Epifanes North America

Epifanes dates to 1902, when Willem Heeren and his son Albert founded the paint company W.Heeren en Zoon in Aalsmeer, Holland, producing linseed oil-based paints named EPIFANES. Adrian F. Zonjee bought the company in 1951, expanded the maritime paint line and began exporting, first to Belgium and then France and Germany in 1955; by the late 1960s the factory had doubled in size.

Exports to the USA began in 1982. In 1985 the company passed to Paul Zonjee and it remains in the family. Epifanes North America was established to serve customers across the North American continent and is based in the historic town of Thomaston, Maine.
