L to R - Bubacarr Badjie, production manager; and Bakary Jawara, CEO |
A paint manufacturing company that produces quality international standard paint has been set up in The Gambia by two indigenes who returned home after living abroad for several years.
Tinnin Paints Limited is an indigene-owned paint manufacturing
company established by Bakary Jawara and Bubacarr Badgie, with an initial
investment of €200,000, equivalent to more than D7.5 million. The factory
produces different types of water-based paint, ideal for both interior and
exterior designs.
In an interview with this paper, Bubacarr Badjie, production
manager of Tinnin Paints, said their company manufactures six different kinds
of paint for different uses: “First of all, we have the Premier, which is
undercoat paint. We have the Premium, an interior design paint, and we have the
Supreme, ideal for both interior and exterior uses.
“We also have the Deluxe, ideal for both interior and
exterior and it can be applied on metal as well because when it dries it is as
solid as oil paint. “We have the Deluxe
Gloss, which is also stronger than the Deluxe because it gives you that shiny
effect and even when scratched, it would not pill off because it’s so slippery
that if anything happens to touch it, it will not scratch.”
Badgie said their company, which situated at 19 Kanifing
Industrial Estate, has invented new paint for welders, such as the Red Oxide,
which is a protective coat for the metal.
When applied on metal, the Red Oxide helps the metal to last long rust-free.
The good thing about the Red Oxide, he pointed out, is that
it is water-based; so welders don’t need kerosene to wash their hands after
using it, just water to clean your hand as usual.
He said their paints do not have any effects of bacteria or spirogyra
as a result of the rain because during rainy season many concrete walls in the
country develop the greenish patches, which is due to bacteria or
spirogyra.
This is because the paint does not have sterilised chemical
which supposes to eliminate all bacteria in it, he said, adding that all the
different types of Tinnin Paints have high concentrated sterilised chemical
that kills all bacteria in the paint during and after production.
“So when you applied it you will not have any bacteria or
spirogyra on the wall you applied it on even in rainy season,” he said.
As the production manager, with over a decade of experience working
in a paint factory in Holland, Badgie said:
“I can produce water-based paint, which is stronger than oil paint and
has the same effects as oil paint.
“At Tinnin Paints, we produce paints in all colours
including gold, silver and bronze colours in water base. There is no colour that we cannot manufacture
here; we produce any colour based on the customer’s choice in any volume within
two hours and our paint are ideal for walls, metals, and textiles.
Bakary Jawara, chief executive officer of Tinnin Paints
Limited, gives the genesis of the company establishment in The Gambia.
He said: “While I was in Sweden, where I was for 22 years, I
have had an interest in investing in The Gambia but I don’t know the area to
invest in. So I had a discussion with
Bubacarr my childhood friend, while he was in Holland. Then I went to Holland to
sit with him to have a proper discussion on this and we then agreed to do a
joint investment in paint factory; that’s how we set up Tinnin Paints.
He said apart from the wide experience and expertise of his
partner in paint production, they have also ventured into paint manufacturing
because of the huge potential in this industry. “As far as I am concerned there
is nobody in The Gambia producing water-based paint in high quality.”
Mr Jawara said their feasibility studies have revealed that
only 2% of the paints used in The Gambia is produced in the country; the other
98% is all imported from Dubai, Brazil, Europe and America.
He said at Tinnin Paints, they manufacture better paints
than the ones imported and their prices are cheaper as well. According to him,
their paint are also more environmentally-friendly compared to the imported
ones.
However, he said despite difficulties in competing with
imported paints in the market, the company has some good patronage, saying the
QCell building was painted with their paint, the Galp at the Turntable in
Brusubi was also painted with their paint. Banjul Breweries is also among their
biggest corporate clients.
Customer testimony: The paint is very good
Bori Darboe of Banjul Breweries, who happened to meet this
reporter at the factory premises where he came to buy paint for his company,
said: “For me I believe in quality, I am
from Banjul Breweries and you know at the brewery we always like to be
associated with excellent products and right now at all our branded shops, the
paints we are using are from Tinnin Paints.
“It’s one of the best paints in The Gambia because we have
been dealing with other paints but the moment we started with this one, we have
never changed because it’s giving us what we need; that is excellence.
“Anywhere you go round now you see Banjul Breweries branded
shop on Vimto, Youki, Guinness, and Castel all these paints are from Tinnin
Paints and they are of the best quality.
“I am very proud to be associated with them and I urge
everybody, be it Gambians or non-Gambians, to come over here to see for
themselves the quality of Tinnin Paints.”
