Our Story

1988–2002: Where It All Began

With deep roots in retail since 1988, our journey formally began in 2002 with the opening of a small paint and hardware store under the Paint Trade banner.

2011: A Focused Vision

Nine years later, we refined our mission and reimagined Paint Trade as a dedicated paint and coatings specialist, expanding our footprint and product range significantly.

2012: Bigger, Better, Bolder

The evolution continued as Paint Trade grew to four times its original size, offering an even wider selection of paints, primers, enamels, and wood finishes to meet the growing needs of both trade and consumer markets.

2015 and Beyond: Colour That Changes Lives

Our goal has always been to improve lifestyles and bring joy through colour. With thousands of shades and finishes to choose from, we empower customers to make bold, creative choices—backed by expert advice and competitive pricing.
