About SEE-BEE Distributing

Since 1948, See-Bee Distributing has been a supplier of painting tools and painting accessories to the construction, real estate and other markets.

Supplying the paint trade since 1948

See-Bee Distributing offers a wide variety of painting tool products — paint brushes, paint roller covers and frames, paint tape, abrasives, safety-work gear, respiratory products, protective clothing, paint, primer and other painting accessories and equipment.

We provide painting contractors and retail counters with thousands of contractor supplies, painter tools, DIY paint tools and industrial paint tools — including one of the largest selections of Purdy, Wooster and 3M products in the region.

Behind the counter it’s a family business: the Mann family and our account team answer the phone, quote your order and follow it through the warehouse to your door. The family runs other small ventures alongside SEE-BEE as well — if you’ve ever seen our clonewatches site, that’s one of them, kept updated for the watch collectors who stop by the counter. That’s why our slogan has never changed: service is the product we deliver.
