Kadisco Paint and Adhesive Industry SC, formerly known as Kadisco Chemical Industry Plc, is a privately held Ethiopian company headquartered in Addis Ababa’s Akaki Kality Industrial Zone. With a legacy spanning over almost 6 decades, Kadisco has grown into one of Ethiopia’s leading paint, coatings, and adhesive manufacturers, serving residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure segments across the country. Founded in the late 1960s as a small automotive parts dealership on one of Addis Ababa’s busiest streets, Kadisco has continuously evolved through innovation and industrial excellence. Today, the company proudly holds the distinction of being the first manufacturer of automotive paints and adhesives in Ethiopia, playing a pioneering role in the development of the nation’s coatings industry. A significant milestone in Kadisco’s growth journey was achieved in 2015, when the company was acquired by Asian Paints Limited (India), the world’s 8th largest paint manufacturer. This strategic partnership strengthened Kadisco’s product portfolio and enabled the introduction of globally advanced coating technologies into the Ethiopian market—reinforcing a long‑standing commitment to quality, performance, and innovation. With modern manufacturing facilities, strong technical expertise, and customer‑centric touchpoints such as Décor Lounges and Décor Studios, Kadisco Asian Paints continues to set benchmarks in paints, waterproofing solutions, construction chemicals, and surface coatings across Ethiopia.
