Founded in 1939 by Charles
W. Wastnage at Leyton in the East End of London, originally the company
specialised in manufacturing French polishes, shellac solutions and wax
polishes for the furniture trade. During the war years the company made
Bakelite varnish for the Ministry of Defence which was used on the
ammunition cases and munitions. In 1976 the company moved to Danbury in
Essex and began manufacturing decorative paints together with traditional
wood finishing products for which the Wastnage name has built it's
reputation. Throughout this time the product range increased and developed
continually and in 1982, another factory was opened at Burnham-on-Crouch in
Essex producing paints for the home and export trade.
The Flag brand was initially created
for exporting to the Middle-East. During 1988 C W Wastnage Ltd re-located the entire
operation to its Burnham-on-Crouch site where it continues to produce a top
quality range of paints (Decorative, Industrial and Marine), wood finishes,
polishes and related sundries.
During 2002 the company was
restructured with new management, resulting in improved focus on customer
care and new product technology. In June 2004 the company was subject to a
management buy out, resulting in further investment injected into the
company to ensure the technological expertise can be carried through to new
generations. The company name was officially changed from CW Wastnage Ltd to
Flag Paints Ltd during July 2004.
