In 1860, Henry Flack began blending waxes and manufacturing polishes in East London. The wood wax and polishes were so superior that they earned recognition by the British Crown. His business was acquired by the J. W. Bollom & Co. in 1961 and since then the brand has gone from strength to strength in both the consumer and professional markets. They are now sold worldwide and have become the “craftsman’s choice” of professional woodworkers and refinishers, as well as homeowners that demand quality.

Since 1860, Henry Flack’s blend of carnauba and beeswax polish has not changed. Patina is defined as the natural, original finish of a wood, and was extremely difficult to maintain and/or regain before the BRIWAX brand of products came into being. Since the BRIWAX brand of wood finish products was created in 1860, however, Patina is the new standard. In the 1990s, environmental concern arose over the use of toluene in paint and stain products. In 2000, Briwax responded to the needs of customers with a toluene-free alternative.
