Monlux Middle East, part of Al Sayegh Group of Companies, has taken over as a distributor of Asian Paints decorative range of products in the UAE.

“Asian Paints is our flagship product along with the numerous other products such as powder coating,” says a spokesman for Monlux.
Asian Paints (Middle East), which started commercial operations in Oman in March 2000, was the first Indian company to set-up a manufacturing facility in the Sultanate.
The manufacturing unit, which is located in Ghala industrial area near Muscat, was set up with an aim of satisfying the needs of the rapidly-growing markets of the Middle East. The unit serves as a hub for servicing the entire Gulf market, and today the company has presence in countries such as Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, and Libya. It has plans to expand into other markets.
The company offers a complete range of paints for all painting needs in decorative, wood-finishes and industrial coatings under its global brands Apcolite, Decora, Touchwood, Metacare and Autocare.
Its portfolio of decorative paints covers the entire range of interior, exterior, roof and paving paints. Its decorative range includes alkyd enamels and acrylic emulsions available in a range of finishes such as high gloss, semi-gloss, satin, low-sheen and matt.
“With a turnover of over $300 million, Asian Paints has become the new wave of colour that is sweeping across South Asia, South Pacific, Middle East and Africa,” says the spokesman. “It has introduced the latest technology in wood finishes for its consumers in the Middle East, and they now have better products to choose from.
“Stringent quality standards and superior technology have enabled Asian Paints to gain loyalty globally for its products and adaptations. With a constant drive towards innovation, the company is today concentrating on new-generation products and eco-friendly alternatives like water-based enamels and elastomeric paints. Asian Paints always endeavours to give its customers the best in paints, which stems from the motto ‘Any surface that needs painting needs Asian Paints’,” he says.
Products including the Apcolite alkyd enamel, Decora alklyd enamel, Royale alkyd enamel and Apcolite emulsion are now available in the UAE.
