Which company owns Zinsser? Zinsser is owned by Rust-Oleum Corporation, which itself is owned by RPM International Inc., a large American multinational coatings company. Zinsser was founded in 1849 by William Zinsser and became known for shellac and specialty primers. Rust-Oleum acquired Zinsser brand and its product lines including Bulls Eye 1-2-3, Cover Stain, B-I-N shellac primer, and AllCoat paints. Rust-Oleum is subsidiary of RPM International, headquartered in Medina, Ohio, which owns many paint and coatings brands. So ultimate parent is RPM International, with Rust-Oleum as direct parent of Zinsser. This ownership explains why Zinsser products are often found alongside Rust-Oleum products at retailers like Lowe's and Home Depot. Zinsser operates as specialty primer division within Rust-Oleum portfolio, focusing on problem-solving primers and paints for stain blocking, odor sealing, and adhesion on difficult surfaces.
