Why Universal Paints Is the Trusted Name for Colours That Last

When it comes to transforming a space, choosing the right paint is about more than just picking a colour from a chart; it's about trust, quality, and the assurance that your project will shine for years to come. This is where Universal Paints stands out as a premium brand, bringing decades of expertise and passion to the world of paint

A Heritage of Excellence

Universal Paints is a brand founded on the values of family, commitment, and technical know-how. The journey began in 1982 when Universal Paints launched as a family-run business dedicated to creating quality-guaranteed paint products. Over the past four decades, the company has evolved into one of the industry's most reliable and respected names, serving a diverse clientele from first-time DIYers to seasoned professionals.

A significant milestone in the company's history came in 2016, when Universal Paints became part of the Medu Capital family. This acquisition brought in new resources and opportunities, further elevating Universal Paints' ability to deliver on its promise of excellence while maintaining its founding values.

Unmatched Expertise and Service

What truly sets Universal Paints apart is its unwavering commitment to quality. Every product is crafted by expert technical teams and subjected to rigorous testing, ensuring only the best makes it to the shelf. It's not just the products that impress; Universal Paints takes pride in the expertise of its staff. Each team member is trained to provide friendly, knowledgeable service, whether you're seeking technical advice or looking to match a specific shade. The paint-mixing and colour-matching services offered at Universal Paints outlets are second to none, empowering customers to bring any vision to life.

Store teams assess performance, identify new growth opportunities, and implement programmes that benefit both the business and the local community.
