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.”
