About the business

Established in 1722, Sigma Paints is recognized as one of the leading forces in the Decorative, Marine and Protective market segment in the Middle East's paints and coatings industry. Maintaining a heritage of commitment to quality and endless innovation, today we are a reference point in paints and are viewed as the favored coating company in the Middle East.

We were founded in Dammam in 1981 by a consortium of eminent Saudi businessmen in cooperation with SigmaKalon. Sigmakalon was the second largest coatings manufacturer in Europe employing over 12,000 people across 50 countries with an annual turnover of US$2.8 billion. In January 2008, PPG Industries (NYSE: PPG), a US based global supplier of coatings, chemicals, glass and fiber glass and equity affiliates and operating in more than 60 countries worldwide, acquired SigmaKalon. PPG Industries has an annual turnover of US$14 billion.
