Canadian Industries Limited (CIL), a Vaughan, Ont.,-based manufacturer and distributor of paints and coatings, has unveiled the company’s new logo. The new logo is described as recognizable, tapping into its iconic red color, curved text and legacy font familiar to Canadians. The company says “the new CIL logo carries forward a proud heritage of local innovation and heritage.”
CIL’s portfolio of brands produced in the Canadian market include Dulux, Sico, Gliddenand Betonel paints. The company employs 1,500 Canadians.
“Today we unveil more than a new CIL logo and mission. We are declaring to our customers that we are positioned for the next chapter of growth, and we’re doubling down on our promise to serve professionals and homeowners coast-to-coast with trusted brands and products built in Canada for Canada,” said Tim Fisher, co-president of retail at CIL. “Our team takes pride in helping our customers achieve their goals. As CIL looks ahead, the company is focused on accelerating growth by strengthening its iconic brands, expanding partnerships and continuing to invest in Canadian innovation.”
For more than a century, CIL has operated in Canada. With origins dating back to the 19th century, CIL grew alongside the nation, supporting major infrastructure projects, contributing to wartime manufacturing, and evolving with the changing needs of Canadian households and industry.
“We are incredibly proud to see the CIL logo return, reaffirming a commitment to our Canadian roots, which means so much to our team and customers,” said Hector Lara, plant manager at CIL’s Vaughan facility. The Vaughan plant manufactures millions of gallons of paint every year.
In September 2025, CIL announced it would become a stand-alone company and revive the CIL name, underscoring its commitment to Canadian customers and Canadian manufacturing.
