Our Story
There’s a reason why Duram is a preferred South African paint. That is, because all our products are made to look better and last longer, at the very best value. This we achieve with all our ranges, from interior and exterior paints, preparation products right through to our specialist paints.
Smart Paint from Smart Values
Our business is based on four principles of excellence we have applied since our founding in 1981. These lead us to continually push the boundaries of “smart paint”: Combining a deep understanding of our customers’ needs, budgets and style with passion and scientific expertise, diligent research and production processes that assure quality excellence at every level.
But we also want to know our efforts will bring advancement beyond today’s business objectives: to continually challenge and innovate the paints industry, while caring for our planet, its people and communities and embracing our proudly South African identity.
