About Us

From starting as a paint salesman to becoming the owner of Hero Manufacturing Company, Terry Douglas has had over 50 years of experience in the paint industry. Throughout his career, Douglas has always carried a passion for providing the best solutions to consumers within the paint industry, whether they be contractors, industry groups or homeowners. 

After years of gathering knowledge in paint development as a salesman, Douglas successfully opened and operated Douglas Paint, a paint store in New Westminster, B.C, in which he manufactured and sold paint in-store and through a network of paint dealers. 

Starting in 1972, Terry Douglas went on to own and operate Hero Manufacturing Company, a leading producer of airless paint sprayers and colorant tinting machines that continue to be sold worldwide.

Over the years, Douglas continued to grow his passion for providing innovative and environmentally-friendly solutions within the industry and this sparked the idea of redesigning the modern paintbrush. 

This brought about the creation of Enviro Brush, a patented paintbrush design that allows consumers to replace the bristle portion of their brush and reuse the handle. The improved design provides consumers with a brush that allows them to save money by just buying bristle refills and cuts waste by 33% by reusing the handle.
