Crown Paints: Floor, Coating and Paint Solutions for the Industrial Sector in Kenya

Rakesh Rao, Group CEO of Crown Paints Kenya PLC, explains what the company provides on the industrial side, in terms of marine coating, epoxy floor solutions, carpark solutions and road marking.

“On the industrial side, we have two major product lines. The first is a marine coating which comes from AkzoNobel which is one of the biggest international paint companies. We provide marine solutions to all the ships in Mombasa and people who are working for shipping companies. We also have epoxy floor solutions: self-leveling epoxy paints for all types of industries (food, automotive, chemical industries, etc.) to protect surfaces. We can give a solution up to 2mm to 6mm floor coating to make sure that the surface is hygienic and productive for many years. We have done a lot of projects here in Kenya. Our products are very well accepted and we are very competitive in providing floor solutions to customers. In commercial buildings as well, we can also provide carpark solutions at competitive prices. We are the only company that has the technology to produce road marking paints in Kenya. We provide high-end, quality products and solutions for the roads. No other paint company has the capacity to produce this paint here. Most of them are importing and selling. We can provide facilities, technological support to our clients, and produce our own paints in house to give solutions at a very competitive price. We have more than 75% of this market share today”, says Rakesh Rao.
