Trinidad and Tobago-based paint company, Kaleidoscope Paint, introduces more than four decades of invention and innovation into the Jamaican market providing a wider range of high quality decorative, industrial and marine paint products.
Andrew Matalon, CEO of Matalon Distributors, Mahindra Devasingh, Export Manager of KPL Group Ltd and Michael Rosen, Sales Manager at Tankweld.
Founded in 1972 by Steven parson, was the first wholly locally owned paint manufacturing company in the twin island republic. In 1992, the company diversified by embarking into the production of Automotive Car and Truck Refinishes.
In 2012 Kaleidoscope Paints went into the adhesives business with the acquisition of HANCO (St Lucia and HADSL (Trinidad) – a product aligned to their main paint business.
Including Jamaica, Kaleidoscope is currently in 15 markets in the Caribbean and South America. Its products are also in Belize, St. Maarten, Montserrat, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, St. Lucia, Barbados, Guyana, Suriname, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Vincent, Puerto Rico and Grenada.
Between 1989 and 1995, Kaleidoscope Paints had a strong presence in Jamaica but a change in ownership resulted in the discontinuation of the brand in Jamaica. Now back, Kaleidoscope will be partnering with Matalon Distributors, who have a history with the Trinidadian company.
Marketing Manager of Kaleidoscope Paints, Nicole Masters gives the closing remarks
“Kaleidoscope is a family-run company which aligns with many of the same values that we have. The relationship was an easy one and that was noticed from our initial meetings. We look forward to a long lasting relationship with Dale (Parson) and the Kaleidoscope team,” he added.
Current KPL CEO Dale Parson, a shareholder since 1991, who succeeded his father the late Stephen Parson. Mr. Parson holds a BSc in Engineering and an MSc in Strategic Leadership and Management from the University of the West Indies. He is currently pursuing his PhD in Business Administration with concentration in Marketing.
According to Nicole Masters, Marketing Manager at Matalon Distributors, Kaleidoscope will be positioned as a quality product at an affordable
price. “It’s important that we meet the needs of the Jamaican people.Kaleidoscope is a full coatings company therefore designed to meet all your coating requirements,” she said.
“Having over 12 years’ experience in marketing and sales and four years’ experience in the coating industry, I know a good product when I see it. Trusting your home or business to Kaleidoscope is a smart decision. Maybe one of the best decisions you will ever make.
“Matalon Homes will be using the paint on all of our developments. This in itself is a statement as Matalon Homes is known for their high-quality designs and finishes,” Andrew Matalon revealed.
“When customers buy roofing that goes hand-in-hand with construction, paint will be a perfect complement. We want our customers to be able to get as many products from us and save them the hassle of dealing with different companies.”
Moreover, Matalon sees an even bigger opportunity for KPL and Matalon Distributors in Jamaica.
