Introduction<br />
The <strong>Vallejo</strong> Company was established in 1965, in New Jersey,<br />
EN<br />
U.S.A. In the first years the company specialized in the<br />
manufacture of Film Color, waterbased acrylic colors for animated<br />
films (cartoons). In 1969 the company moved to Spain; in those years<br />
many important cartoon studios were based in Europe. The special<br />
qualities and unique formula of Film Color soon became known,<br />
and the product was used by most of the important studios on the<br />
continent.<br />
In 1972 Amadeo <strong>Vallejo</strong> developed Acrylic Artist Color, the first acrylic<br />
for fine arts manufactured in Spain, and one of the first acrylic colors<br />
for artists produced in Europe. In this period, <strong>Vallejo</strong> also introduced<br />
Liquid Watercolor-colors for graphic design.<br />
In the year 1981, following suggestions by professors of the Fine Arts<br />
University of Barcelona, <strong>Vallejo</strong> presented Acrylic Studio- a range of<br />
high quality acrylic colors for fine arts in large size packaging (200 and<br />

asset of our company”<br />

500ml. sizes, the first such presentation in artist colors worldwide) at a<br />
reduced and unified price. With this range, a result of the most careful<br />
selection of permanent artist pigments, avoiding the most expensive<br />
colors, such as cadmiums and cobalts, <strong>Vallejo</strong> created the line of<br />
colors which was to become a benchmark for the industry and the<br />
beginning of a new period of expansion for Acrylicos <strong>Vallejo</strong>.<br />
The growing popularity of waterbased acrylic colors became of interest<br />
to airbrush artists, until then working with solvent based products.<br />
With the help of these artists during the periods of trial and testing,<br />
<strong>Vallejo</strong> formulated the first acrylic colors for airbrushing in 1986. In the<br />
following years, the company began developing a range of colors-<br />
Model Color- for hobby and model-painters, as well as complete lines<br />
of colors and auxiliary products for decorative arts.<br />
Acrylicos <strong>Vallejo</strong> still is a family company, and Amadeo <strong>Vallejo</strong><br />
continues to supervise the development of new products, supported<br />
now by a technical department dedicated to investigation and<br />
development. The testing of new products and formulations in the<br />
chemical industry is a constant process and <strong>Vallejo</strong> takes pride in the<br />
constant aim to improve the quality and presentation of the colors and<br />
to continue offering products with exceptional quality to all artists.<br />
Since the beginning in the seventies until today, the company has<br />
extended its installations several times, starting in a garage of 30<br />
square meters, then moving to a warehouse, and finally expanding<br />
to the actual installations in 3 industrial buildings, divided into raw<br />
material storage, manufacturing and stock sections.<br />
At present Acrylicos <strong>Vallejo</strong> exports to more than 55 countries, and the<br />
AV colors comply with all the security and environment regulations in<br />
force in the European Common Market and the United States. More<br />
