Note to the media:

PLASCON With more than 130 years of experience in the paints and coating industry, Plascon has a proud history and legacy in Africa. It all began with humble beginnings in 1889 when a young Welshman, Herbert Evans arrived in the shanty mining town of Johannesburg with a cart, ladder, and paintbrushes. All those years ago he embraced the core values that Kansai Plascon still strives towards today – to design products that improve the lives of customers through constant innovation.

Evans re-invented the coatings industry by pioneering world-firsts in the paint industry, including the earliest “ready-mixed” coloured paints and revolutionary “best elastic carriage varnish”. It was this spirit of innovation and a total dedication to designing products that solve the needs of the coating for customers. Plascon has introduced many ground-breaking products, including the legendary Plascon Double Velvet which became famous for its luxurious velvet finish.
