INTRODUCTION
National Paints is a third-generation business, built on a
family’s entrepreneurial vision and values. Our story begins in 1948, when Faeq
Ibrahim Sayegh opened a building materials shop on a bustling merchant street
in Amman, Jordan. Later, recognizing a gap in the market for high-quality paint
products, the Sayegh brothers were inspired to contribute to the growth of the
paint industry. And so, National Paints was born in 1969 with a commitment to
exceptional quality and superior service.
In 1977, Saleem Sayegh saw an opportunity in the United Arab
Emirates, and opened a factory in Sharjah. The plant became the epicenter of
National Paints’ journey of growth as it became the region’s biggest paints and
coatings factory.
Today, National Paints products improve, protect and uplift
projects and properties across 80 countries. Yet, we remain under family
stewardship, and our approach is still built on Sayegh family values. We take
pride in what we do and hold ourselves to exacting standards. We continuously
strive towards exceptional customer service and are willing to go the extra
mile to help customers find or customize the perfect product.
Our Achievements
We’re never standing still. Every day, we invest in the capabilities, equipment, infrastructure, and people that keep us in the lead.
That’s why our Sharjah plant still holds the distinction of being the Middle East’s largest for paint products and related material — contributing to our annual tally of 500,000 tons of paint and related products every year.
We’re 16th by size in the European and Middle Eastern market and are ranked 38th in the list of the 100 largest paint and coatings producers. We’re also the largest paint consortium in the Middle East.

Our environmentally-friendly paint products not only protect valuable assets but also the people who live and work in them daily. That’s why all our materials are free from APEO and formaldehyde. They have exceptionally low volatile organic compounds (VOC), leading to extremely low emissions.
