“We believe true impact goes beyond paint – it’s about colouring the future with intention,” said Santosh Gumte, highlighting Plascon Paints’ commitment to making a meaningful difference in the communities they serve.
The partnership has supported various initiatives, including the Masaza Cup, and worked together in areas such as health, education, agriculture, and sports. The refurbishment of Bulange Mengo is a testament to the power of collaboration and the importance of preserving historical landmarks.

The Katikkiro of Buganda, Owek. Charles Peter Mayiga, commended Plascon not only for the consistency of their support but also for the company’s values and integrity, which he noted are increasingly rare in today’s business landscape.
“Companies like Plascon are key to the future of our nation. Uganda’s population is largely made up of young people, and when responsible businesses like Plascon thrive, they create employment, expand opportunity, and contribute significantly to our economy. This is one of the few companies that continue to faithfully meet tax obligations, and that speaks volumes about its character,” said the Katikkiro.
