Move part of its expansion drive in UAE paint market

Hempel, suppliers of decorative, marine and protective coatings, has revealed that it is strengthening its range of paint offerings for the UAE market, particularly within the decorative and protective segments, which account for up to 85% of the total paint sales in the country, according to a study by PKF research. Hempel further announced the inauguration of a new outlet in Dubai as part of the company’s aggressive regional expansion plans.

The opening of Sadafat Trading, the authorised Hempel dealer located in Hor Al Anz, takes advantage of the growth pace of the UAE market, which is powered by revitalised real estate and infrastructure development initiatives, increased oil and gas activity, as well as strong demands from the manufacturing, hospitality and marine sectors, the company said.

Laurence Brown, Hempel UAE Country Manager, on the occasion said: “Leveraging on the company’s well-established R&D infrastructure, Hempel has focused strongly on developing specialised coatings that cater to specific demands of the local market, giving us a competitive edge. The opening of the Sadafat Trading outlet, which is strategically located in the hardware hub of Dubai in Hor Al Anz, therefore brings us closer to our customers and reinforces our ability to reach out to our clients.”
