Haymes Paint, Australia’s largest manufacturer of locally made and owned paint, is celebrating its commitment to excellence during Australian Made Week from 20-26 May 2024.
With up to five years of research and development behind every product, Haymes Paint exemplifies the dedication required to deliver top-tier paints and coatings tailored to Australia’s unique conditions.
A team of 30 experts spearheads Haymes Paint’s innovation, combining in-depth knowledge of Australia’s diverse climates with cutting-edge technology and rigorous testing.
Products undergo one- to two-year trials, exposed to elements ranging from Queensland’s humidity to the winter cold of Ballarat, ensuring they perform exceptionally well across the country.
This meticulous process can span up to five years from concept to shelf, with the company introducing an average of one new product annually.
As a family-owned business employing over 400 staff, Haymes Paint has recently invested $22 million in upgrading its Ballarat manufacturing plant.
This investment has enabled the company to leverage the latest technology and boost its output to over 300 million litres of paint per year—enough to paint the Sydney Harbour Bridge 10,000 times.
One notable innovation from Haymes Paint is Trimplus, a water-based solution addressing the challenges of traditional oil-based paints.
Trimplus offers durability, hardness, and protection without the unpleasant odour and lengthy clean-up associated with oil-based alternatives, reflecting the company’s commitment to solving customer pain points.
Haymes Paint’s success is also driven by its network of skilled salespeople embedded within their local communities.
This network allows the company to stay attuned to the evolving needs of both professional painters and DIY enthusiasts.
Feedback from the field provides invaluable insights, fueling continuous product innovation and refinement from Haymes Paint.
