Canadian Industries Limited (CIL) recently announced the company’s new logo and renewed mission, revealing a new chapter for the company.
“Today we unveil more than a new CIL logo and mission,” says Tim Fisher, CIL co-president of retail. “We are declaring to our customers that we are positioned for the next chapter of growth, and we’re doubling down on our promise to serve professionals and homeowners coast-to-coast with trusted brands and products built in Canada for Canada. Our team takes pride in helping our customers achieve their goals. As CIL looks ahead, the company is focused on accelerating growth by strengthening its iconic brands, expanding partnerships and continuing to invest in Canadian innovation.”
CIL’s new logo includes the company’s iconic red color, curved text and signature font. The company has origins dating back to the 19th century, supporting major infrastructure projects, contributing to wartime manufacturing and evolving with the changing needs of Canadian households and industry.
“We are incredibly proud to see the CIL logo return, reaffirming a commitment to our Canadian roots, which means so much to our team and customers,” said Hector Lara, plant manager at CIL’s Vaughan, Ontario, facility. The Vaughan plant manufactures millions of gallons of paint every year.
In September 2025, CIL announced it would become a stand-alone company and revive the CIL name.
