Our History
Samuel Cabot was a European trained chemist, who patented
"certain new and useful improvements in Process for the
Preservation of Wood", established the Cabot's brand in
Massachusetts, USA in 1877. Today, Cabot Inc. USA, continues to
develop industry-leading woodcare products with the same principles
in place as its originating founder.
The Cabot's brand has been active in Australia since 1962 when
Kenneth H. Brock & Sons Pty. Ltd acquired the licence to
distribute the brand. It was one colour, adopted by architects,
that gave Cabot's its Australian breakthrough in the late 1960's
and throughout the 1970's. Mission Brown was a Cabot's (Australia)
invention and it changed the face of Australian suburbia.
During the 1990's the licence for the brand was acquired by ICI
Australia (now DuluxGroup). Cabot's Premium Woodcare Brands, part
of DuluxGroup, manages and markets the Cabot's brand throughout
Australia.
Since its arrival in Australia, Cabot's has steadily increased
its share to the point that, today, it is the market leading
woodcare brand in the DIY market in Australia. Innovation, quality
and service continue to drive Cabot's success. It is the first
choice for people who wish to protect and enhance the natural
beauty of their timber.
