One day in 1912, two brothers named Nathan and Oscar Wagman opened a raw horsehair processing factory in South Philadelphia. Oscar moved to China in 1920, and realizing the potential of animal hair applications in the field of brush components, the brothers expanded their business to the Tianjin province.
In Tianjin, Oscar established an animal hair processing facility, which dealt in red fox fur, hog bristle, goat hair, yak hair and horsehair. Joined by Nathan’s son Howard, the family expanded its product line, first to human hair products (such as human hair weaves and wholesale human hair), and then, several years later, into paint applicators (paint brushes, chip brushes, artist brushes and more). Wagman Primus has maintained a presence in China – and kept its operation in Philadelphia – ever since.
In 1996, Richard Sheerr purchased Wagman Primus and focused its efforts on providing global product sourcing in human hair, brush components and artist supplies to North American customers.
In September 2008, Wagman Primus sold its entire brush and brush components business to Sherwin-Williams. After 86 years, the company’s sole focus is once again human and animal hair.
