Manufacturers of Dulux premium brand of paints, Chemical and Allied Products Plc, has commissioned its new state-of-the-art automated paint in-plant manufacturing factory.
Managing Director, CAP Plc, Mrs. Omolara Elemide, explained that the acquisition of in-plant tinting technology was well thought out in order to place the company in alignment with the market dictates and trends as well as to meet the increasing demand from the customer for paint colours in small volumes.
Elemide said that the company invested in the facility, which is the first of its kind in Nigeria, to continue to push the limit of excellence in the paint industry and reaffirm its leadership positioning.
She explained that the automated In-Plant Tinting Technology would make it possible for the company to profitably manufacture premium quality paints in large and small batches within the shortest possible time, while also completely eliminating the issue of colour variation from batch to batch.
“Over the years, there has been an increase in demand for colours in small volumes from the factory. This has resulted in production lead-time challenges, as the plant was not configured to produce colours in small volumes.
As a customer-focused company, we took up the challenge to meet this emerging need of our customers by acquiring the in-plant tinting technology,” she said.
Chairman, CAP Plc., Mr. Larry Ettah, described the actualisation of CAP Plc’s automated in-plant tinting factory as a testament of what could be achieved when innovation and advancement were encouraged in any organisation.
“Today marks the beginning of another revolution in the Nigerian paint market. Customers should be ready for pleasant and thrilling experience as we commission the first fully automated paint factory in Nigeria.
The benefits of the new factory to customers are enormous. These include prompt product delivery, more colour offering and colour consistency. With this accomplishment, CAP Plc. has undoubtedly reinforced its leadership position in the Nigerian Paint Industry” he said.
