==History==
In 1770, Louis Steigenberger shifted from [[Frankfurt]] to [[London]] to sell a [[Prussian blue]] colour, which was made using his own formula. He then changed his name to Lewis Berger. By 1870, Berger Paints was selling 19 different pigments such as black lead, sulphur, sealing wax and mustard. After his demise, his sons took over the business.{{citation needed|date=March 2017}} In the 1900s, Sherwin-Williams, an American company took control of the company. On 17 December 1923, Mr. Hadfield set up Hadfield's (India) Ltd., a small paint company in [[Calcutta]]. Towards the end of 1947, British Paints acquired Hadfield's (India) Ltd and thus British Paints (India) Ltd was incorporated in the State of West Bengal. In 1951, sales offices were opened in [[Delhi]] and [[Mumbai]] and a depot was started in [[Guwahati]]. In 1969, Berger Jenson Nicholson Limited, UK bought British Paints (India) Ltd. This marked the beginning of Lewis Berger's legacy in India.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/berger-paints-(india)-ltd/infocompanyhistory/companyid-13971.cms|title=The Economic Times|work=indiatimes.com}}</ref> In the year 1973, D. Madhukar took over as the Managing Director. Sales figures reached over Rs. 160 million by 1978.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.moneycontrol.com/company-facts/bergerpaintsindia/history/BPI02|title=Berger Paints India > Company History > Paints & Varnishes > Company History of Berger Paints India – BSE: 509480, NSE: BERGEPAINT|work=moneycontrol.com}}</ref> The 80s and the 90s saw the launch of many new products such as [[emulsions]] and distempers. In 1991, [[UB group]] sold the company to [[Kuldip Singh Dhingra]] (Chairman) and [[Gurbachan Singh Dhingra]] (Vice Chairman).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/naazneenkarmali/2013/08/04/dhingra-brothers-of-berger-paints-enter-ranks-of-indias-richest-as-shares-soar/|title=Dhingra Brothers Of Berger Paints Enter Ranks Of India's Richest As Shares Soar|first=Naazneen|last=Karmali|work=forbes.com}}</ref> Subir Bose took over as Managing Director on 1 July 1994.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/markets/stocks|title=Stocks|work=bloomberg.com}}</ref> Bose retired on 30 June 2012, handing over the company to Abhijit Roy, the current managing director.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiainfoline.com/article/research-leader-speak/abhijit-roy-chief-operating-officer-berger-paints-india-ltd-28806008_1.html|title=Abhijit Roy, Chief Operating Officer, Berger Paints India Ltd|last=indiainfoline.com|work=indiainfoline.com}}</ref>
