Asian Paints is India’s largest and Asia’s third largest paint company. It is a vertically integrated paint company with in-house manufacturing facility. It’s product portfolio includes wall paints, metal paints, wood finishes, primers and others. The company’s market segments include decorative and industrial coating segment. The industrial coating segment consists of automotive coating, powder coating and protective coating. Besides Asian Paints, the group operates around the world through its subsidiaries Berger International, Apco Coatings, and SCIB Chemicals.
One notable aspect that I personally like about Asian Paints is that, it has been able to expand globally without taking on too much debt. It is able to support its expansion plan from its internal sources.
