KANNAVAS PAINTSHOP

ABOUT US

Humble beginnings

The company was established in 1963 by the late Andreas G. Kannavas in Limassol. Andreas G. Kannavas, was an entrepreneurial and brave young man that even though he was only 20 years old at the time he decided to start his own business. He imported paints from the U.K and using his bike delivered them around the city of Limassol. The company was a great success and a few years later, the company grew, launched paint shops and imported well-known brands such as Hadrian, Macpherson, Permoglaze, Johnstone’s from the U.K., Hasco from the Netherlands, and the world-famous Red Devil Inc. from the U.S.A.

Growth

In 1977, after having substantial years of experience in the paint industry, a manufacturing unit was launched where paints would be produced in house. The manufacturing of interior, exterior and waterproofing paints began with great success putting Kannavas Paintshops at the top of the industry amongst professional painters and do-it-yourselfers by consistently producing high-quality paint as well as delivering great service.

Transition

In 1995 Andreas G. Kannavas passed away and his eldest son George A. Kannavas at the age of 25 took over the management of the company with the help of his brother Savvas and sister Elena. A challenge that was accepted by the family that in the upcoming years were not only able to maintain the legacy of Andreas G. Kannavas but improve it by growing the company even bigger within the upcoming years. The Kannavas name became synonymous with quality for ecological paints, varnishes, tools as well as insulation materials, something that we worked extremely hard to maintain. The new era meant that wholesale and retail sales were available and two new brands have been added to the existing palette: United Gilsonite Laboratories from the U.S.A. and Chrotex from Greece.
