Paint Centre Celebrates 50 Years of Mbombela’s industry experts

Celebrating 50 years as Mbombela’s paint experts, Paint Centre has spent the past five decades delivering to its clients the best quality service and expertise in the industry. Situated at 43 Anderson Street, Paint Centre was first established by Henry Krause in 1973 as the Lowveld’s go-to store for all paint-related products.

Shortly after the business was founded, it was taken over by current owner Robbie Amos, who has worked at the Paint Centre for 47 years, making the store one of the oldest businesses under the same management in Mbombela. With Paint Centre being founded half a century ago, it coincided with the building boom in Mbombela’s CBD, meaning that it supplied the initial paint coatings for most of the high-rise buildings being constructed at the time.

Paint Centre has consistently proven throughout the many years of its business operations that it is the Lowveld’s favourite paint suppliers. With the expansion of the company over the past years, more services and products were added to the line-up, including automotive, furniture and industrial coatings, as well as abrasives and modern tinting equipment. Paint Centre’s 50-year involvement with Plascon has also resulted in an expansion of products and services, such as the supply of automotive refinishing products and all ancillary products, such as abrasives, polyester body fillers, etc. Its agencies allows Paint Centre to supply any abrasives whether in sheet, belt or disc form.

Paint Centre has specialised departments that deal in vehicle paints, and light industrial, heavy industrial, household and decorative paints, furniture finishes and stains.

A full range of fibreglass products are available for the construction or repair of boats, pools or any other fibreglass item. Added to this wide range of products is the unapparelled experience of all its staff, which equates to well over 100 years’ expert knowledge in the industry. All the Paint Centre employees, including the sales department, have been working for the business between seven and 43 years, ensuring that all its clients get the best advice and service a paint supplier has to offer.

Paint Centre is also well known for its unrivalled paint-matching skills, and can guarantee all its clients there is virtually not a single colour it cannot mix and match. It offers thousands of car and household colours, and promises clients that if the store does not have a colour the clients needs, it can certainly mix it. The centre also offers personal service to all its customers, ensuring every question or issue is addressed in-depth. The expert staff’s advice is tried and tested.

The personal attention to the customers’ needs extends to site visits to inspect problems, etc, and provide free quotations as required. From supplying coatings for cruise liners and aircraft to mining equipment, acid plants, heavy-duty flooring and roofs, Paint Centre ensures it can meet whatever its clients’ needs are, including supplying products that are environmentally friendly. It supplies Micon fire retardant coatings for underground and industrial applications, such as cable coatings to prevent flame spread.

A full range of service products is supplied and serviced for the successful preparation and application of all paint products, from sanders to spray guns to sand blasting equipment and airless sprayers.
