Sunlac Paints Ltd.
Sunlac Paints traces its roots back to the year 1942 when the visionary Late Shri S.K. Mehra and his brothers established Mera Chemicals in Lahore, Undivided India. This pioneering venture quickly gained recognition for its manufacturing of import-substitute chemicals, challenging the dominance of British companies. Among their notable achievements was the establishment of reactors with distillation processes, a first in United India, enabling the production of Butyl Acetate and Ethyl Acetate.
Following the partition, the Mehra brothers resettled in Delhi and embarked on a new journey by founding a factory dedicated to the production of paints for both metal and wood surfaces. Their commitment to innovation and quality led to becoming an approved vendor for Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, supplying specialized coatings for aircraft.
Mera Chemicals continued to push boundaries by introducing groundbreaking products such as NC Putty, Metal Primer,
NC Sanding Sealer, NC Top Coat Clear, NC Colours, Stoving Paints, and Flamboyant Colours, setting new standards in the industry.
In 1988, the legacy continued as Late Shri S.K. Mehra, along with his sons Shri Ashwani Mehra and Shri Kapil Mehra, founded Sunlac Paints Pvt Ltd. This marked the beginning of a new chapter in the journey, focusing on the manufacturing of a comprehensive range of paints, thinners, primers, wood sealers, and putty.
The commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction propelled Sunlac Paints Pvt Ltd to new heights. In 2004, the company took a significant step forward by converting into a Public Limited entity, further cementing its position as a leader in the paints industry. Since then, Sunlac Paints Limited, a Joint Venture of Erstwhile Sunlac, Powertek, and Colortek, has continued to innovate, expand, and uphold the values instilled by its founders, becoming synonymous with quality and reliability in the market.
