Dekro Paints<\/span><\/a> is one of the leading manufacturers and distributors of paint and coatings in South Africa. They export their products into Africa, Australia, Europe and the Far East, and hold themselves to the most stringent quality assurance systems in South Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Green emphasis<\/span><\/h3>\n

What began in 1920 as a paint company has grown into a multi-product range with a strong emphasis on the environment. Dekro\u2019s New Green Generation Products are all labelled with the Dekro Daisy, to show that they are friendly to the environment and the people using them. All the Green Generation Products are formulated with minimal levels of harmful substances like VOC\u2019s, APEO, MEG, formaldehyde, ammonia and solvents.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDekro Paints has been manufacturing paint and resin since 1920, but it\u2019s our emphasis on the environment that really sets us apart. We\u2019re proud to offer the greenest ecological coating range in South Africa – we\u2019re the leading innovator in greener paint products.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Consistent quality<\/span><\/h3>\n

Dekro Paints has always been known for their excellent quality at competitive prices, with the most diverse range of paint and resin products in South Africa. As a company, they focus on consistent community work as a core part of business. And, of course, they are the leading innovator in greener paint and resin products, thanks to ongoing research and development using modern and future technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Online presence<\/span><\/h3>\n

But no modern business can flourish offline. Their website – <\/span>www.dekro.co.za<\/span><\/a> – has been hosted by xneelo for over 15 years and is an integral part of the Dekro business plan. \u201cIf there\u2019s one piece of advice I wish I\u2019d been given at the start, it\u2019s that technology and an online presence is – and always will be – a key part of the sales strategy,\u201d says Greg Meaker, Chairman of Dekro Paints.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having the right hosting partner is an important part of this. \u201cWe chose xneelo in the early 2000s because of their good service and pricing at the time. Almost 15 years later, that hasn\u2019t changed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
