From Humble Beginnings to Nationwide Reach
Paintchem began as a modest “one-man band” – a vision brought to life through determination, hard work, and an unwavering belief in quality. From these humble beginnings, Paintchem has grown into a proudly South African brand, manufacturing and distributing premium products throughout South Africa and its neighbouring countries.

Paintchem Today
What started in a single factory in Verulam, KwaZulu-Natal, has expanded into a manufacturing facility that now spans seven adjoining buildings. Still owner-run, we ensure hands-on attention to every detail, maintaining the personal touch that shaped our beginnings.
Our growth has been driven by our dedicated team, whose expertise and commitment form the backbone of our company. Beyond our head office in KZN, we now proudly operate branches in Gauteng, Bloemfontein, Nelspruit, Port Elizabeth. Paintchem products are available throughout South Africa and reach customers across neighbouring regions as well.

Our technical team is highly trained—some having received advanced training abroad—to ensure we deliver innovative solutions using world-class technology. By using only top-quality raw materials, we manufacture products that meet the highest standards—products we are proud to put our name on.
