CHEMICAL AND ALLIED PRODUCTS PLC

Chemical and Allied Products PLC, widely known as CAP PLC, traces its origins back to 1957 when it was established as ICI Exports Limited, a Nigerian offshoot of the multinational Imperial Chemical Industries Plc (ICI). Over the years, the company underwent several transitions, evolving through names like ICI Nigeria Limited and Chemical and Allied Products Limited (CAPL) before becoming Chemical and Allied Products PLC. This evolution culminated in its current standing as a prominent subsidiary of UAC of Nigeria Plc. CAP PLC has solidified its position as a leading manufacturer and distributor in Nigeria, benefiting from a technical partnership with AkzoNobel, a global leader in paints, and representing Hempel Paints South Africa in specific segments. The company also pioneered the innovative "Colour Centre" concept in Nigeria, revolutionizing the paints and coatings industry by offering branded retail studios across the nation. The core business of CAP PLC revolves around the manufacture and marketing of a comprehensive range of paints and coatings, catering to both the premium and standard segments of the market. Its diverse product portfolio includes well-recognized brands such as Dulux for premium decorative paints, Sandtex for standard decorative applications, Caplux for surface treatment products, and Hempel for industrial and marine coatings. These offerings serve a broad spectrum of clients, from homeowners and contractors to various industrial sectors including construction, manufacturing, and marine applications, primarily within the Nigerian market. The company operates extensive manufacturing and blending facilities, distributing its products through a vast network of dedicated retail outlets, including Dulux Colour Stores and Sandtex Stores, ensuring widespread accessibility across Nigeria.
