Raghadan Paints Group, an industry leader in the paints market in Saudi Arabia, will introduce a two-coat paint system for exteriors at SaudiBuild 2003.

The new environment-friendly product under licence from Japanese technology promises a durable texture that would last for 10 years and can be used both on new build and renovation projects, says sales and marketing director  Dr Hisham Ali.

The company offers professional services and has the ability, strength and determination to meet its goals and fulfil its mission to serve its customers better, he says.
Raghadan, launched in 1974, has grown over the decades into a highly competitive player in the area of paint manufacturing. Today, it boasts a multinational workforce of more than 500 employees and has business interests that cuts across the sectors of manufacturing, distribution, import, export, and supply-and-apply of paints.

''This growth has been achieved through a policy of dedication, hard work and positive outlook of all its founding members,'' says Dr Ali. ''Today, Raghadan is a name to reckon with, especially in Saudi Arabia, because of the quality of its products and services.''
Apart from manufacturing, Raghadan is also a leading importer of paints from various well-known suppliers such as Kansai Paints from Japan, Akzo Nobel (Levis) from Belgium and Colorificio San Marco and Vernici Milesi from Italy.

Raghadan is an official paint supplier and applicator for the Royal family of Saudi Arabia and has worked in collaboration with top contractors in the Kingdom.
It has one of the largest distribution networks in the Middle East. In Saudi Arabia alone, the company has 10 major branches located at key cities and 100 distributors.

The company's profile abroad is equally impressive. In Jordan, the company has a main paint  showroom in Amman and 20 distributors, while in Egypt it has a paint factory and showroom in Cairo backed by 50 distributors throughout the country. In the UK, Raghadan has a regional office located in London. At SaudiBuild 2003, Raghadan will be at Stand 733.
