Supplying Paint to Independent Paint Retailers

The growth and development of General Paints Limited went hand in hand with the growth and development of the Independent Paint Retail sector in Ireland and today General Paints supplies around eighty Independent Paint Retailers around the country.

General Paints success in this sector can be attributed to a number of factors but perhaps none more important than its ability to offer the Independent Paint Retailer genuine and premium quality alternatives to the products available through the Super Stores or Sheds as they have become known. Tinting (colour) systems have been perhaps the single greatest innovation in the paint industry in recent years and General Paints introduced tinting machines and colour systems to Ireland Ð and to the Independent Paint Retailer - in the 1960s. Today the company is marketing its fifth generation tinting system - MILLENNIUM - Colors of the Future‰ - designed by colour stylists and recognised as the worldÕs leading colour system for paint offering a choice of 1488 colours.
