SIPCO
was formed in 1982 as a joint venture between
Saudi investors and Akzo Nobel
of Holland to manufacture a range of Protective
Coatings, Decorative Paints, Industrial
Finishes, Sealants and Adhesives. Akzo
Nobel are the largest producers
of paint, coatings and chemicals in the
world and through its association with them
SIPCO has benefited greatly
from technology and product development
and the skills and expertise of the AKZO
management.
During its formative years SIPCO
also built close relationships with ICI-Devoe
Coatings of U.S.A., culminating
in licensing agreements to manufacture specialised
products for the Protective Coatings market,
and in particular for ARAMCO,
for which the company has approval for most
of its product range.
The
confidence of the company’s Shareholders
is reflected in the very high degree of investment
in SIPCO to build on the
level of excellence established with Akzo-Nobel
and ICI- Devoe, and so grow
the company’s penetration of its markets.
SIPCO now has in place a
very experienced team of managers, technicians
and chemists. It has a greatly enlarged factory
and warehousing facility, incorporating a
new automated production plant, supported
by high technology quality control, research
and development laboratories.
SIPCO, built on a sound,
solid foundation, remains firm in its resolve,
to be constantly at the forefront of the industry,
and the technical innovations therein.
