The story of Uulatuote began in 1975 in Nurmo, when paint manufacturer Winter Ltd representative Arto Uunila resigned and established Väri-Vinkki with his family. Shortly after that Arto started to cook traditional red earth paint along with his son and wife and soon the small workshop turned into a traditional paint company. Uulatuote Ltd was established 1978.
The 1970s saw the rise of acrylic and latex paints, and traditional linseed oil paints and cooked earth paints nearly vanished from the market. Uula paints were developed to meet the needs of restauration. The red earth paint was soon accompanied by linseed oil paint as well as interior paints.
When the paint philosopher Uunila retired in 1992 his son Jouni Uunila became CEO. Jouni has expanded the product range of Uulatuote and overseen the company’s rise from a small paint shop to where it is today. A range of water-based interior paints were introduced in 2008, and Uulatuote changed its name to Uula Color in 2018. Nowadays the company employs 13 employees, headed by CEO Ilari Hyyrynen.
