Exclusive expansion of KILZ® and
BEHR® brands within the home improvement big box retail
channel supports The Home Depot's long-term strategic vision to
deepen its relationship with professional customers
ATLANTA, March 19,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Home Depot and Behr
Paint Company have expanded their long-term relationship to
exclusively offer KILZ® branded primer products in the
United States and Puerto
Rico. The Home Depot will become the only home improvement
big box retailer to offer KILZ® branded primer products
including KILZ Original®, KILZ PVA®, KILZ
2®, KILZ 3 Premium®, KILZ
Restoration® and KILZ Mold & Mildew® and more
problem-solving primer products and aerosols.
Behr Paint Company products have been sold at The Home Depot
since the retailer opened its doors in 1979, and Home Depot started
carrying KILZ® primer products in 1991. KILZ®
primer products have been trusted by Pros for 50 years, and the new
agreement solidifies The Home Depot as the retailer that has the
products and brands that Pros want. The new exclusive agreement
will enable The Home Depot to offer deeper job lot quantities both
in-store and through its distribution channels.
"We've heard that Pros can sometimes make several stops to get
the products they need for a single job," said Billy Bastek, executive vice president of
merchandising at The Home Depot. "By exclusively offering industry
standard products like KILZ® primer and expanding our
product assortment and depth, we can simplify how they shop for a
project and save them time."
The Home Depot has made significant investments to deliver a
faster, more convenient, differentiated experience for Pros no
matter how they choose to shop – in stores, online or receiving
deliveries from stores or distribution centers. The company
has begun expanding its Pro ecosystem, which includes
capabilities that complement the store experience and serve Pros in
the unique ways they like to shop.
"This expanded collaboration with The Home Depot allows us to
continue providing a best-in-class experience, anchored by
unparalleled product quality and service," said Megan Selby, president at Behr Paint Company.
"Our goal is to ensure that both our DIY and professional customers
can exclusively find BEHR® branded products and KILZ®
primers they need for their projects at The Home Depot."
