Graydon was founded in 1888 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The name Graydon was adopted in 1986, when the original company, named Van der Graaf & Co., merged with its competitor Dongelmans: hence the contraction Graydon.
Letter of president
"I remember walking in this office 20 years ago, impressed with the task ahead: serving an enterprise with a history that goes even further back than KLM or Royal Dutch Shell... A humbling feeling indeed."
