1985

Kapci Coatings was founded in 1985, as Kantara Paints and Chemical Industries. The founders of the company are Eng.  Mohamed El-Sayed and Eng. Hassan EI-Badrawy. The company was reincorporated to its present structure and name Kapci Coatings in 2002. From the inception of our business, we have continued to advance in the provision of service and quality products. Our approach over the past 3 decades has been customer centric and we continuously endeavor to develop sustainable solutions for our customers.

1999

Through sustainable growth, in 1999 Kapci developed basecoat systems that are not only versatile but match all color requirements of the bodyshops and repair centers. The Kapcibase and Kapcicryl system was designed to provide excellent colour matching and has brought extraordinary solutions in the Car Refinish industry globally. With its Pearlescent, Metallic, Solid and Magic Colour toners, Kapci basecoats and 2K paints are easy to use and have very excellent coverage and durability.

2002

In 2002 the company officially opened its new 200,000 square meter production facility in Port Said and changed its name from Kantara Paints and Chemical Industries to Kapci Coatings. One of our core strengths, and the main reason behind our longevity we believe, is our progressive approach to custom-made car refinish solutions, whether that’s in solvent based basecoats, water based basecoats, modifications, or 2K coatings. As a result, we have enjoyed long-standing relations with our partners and suppliers in reaching this milestone in our existence as company.

2008

Kapci DIMA, full water based color mixing system was developed in 2008 to meet all standards and benefits of switching to waterborne. DIMA paints have the ability to protect vehicles against acid rain, severe weather, and UV radiation. The technological transition brought about by these coatings has prompted Kapci to develop these products from scratch. We make use of brand-new technologies, which, in turn, lead to the development of products with an array of advantages to all parties. DIMA provides a less odor working environment as it uses a reducer when thinning, mixed at a ratio of 100% DIMA base to 30% of the reducer.

2009

To successfully implement training and development goals we opened our state of the art training center in 2009. The training center which is fully equipped with all coatings equipment hosts, more than 1000 of our local and international clients per year for training in Car Refinish, Wood Finishes and Decorative products.

2018

In extension of our global presence we officially opened our 50000 square meter production facility in Bangalore India in 2018, to provide convenience to the Indian and Asian markets.

2021

In 2021, Kapci Coatings has demonstrated its technological prowess and ingenuity, by developing PRIMA, a new range of Car Refinish products designed to take a step higher in terms of quality, robustness and primacy. Primabase 8700 Basecoat system is a solvent based basecoat mixing system that includes 67 solid colour basecoats, metallic basecoats, pearlescent and special effects basecoats. Primacryl 8600, comprising of 19 toners, is a 2K acrylic mixing system for repainting of passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
