Kansai Nerolac is one of the largest paints & coatings companies in India having a significant presence in industrial and decorative paints sectors. We embarked our journey in 1920 as Gahagan Paints and Varnish Co. Ltd. at Lower Parel in Bombay. In 1930, three British companies merged to formulate Lead Industries Group Ltd. In 1933, Lead Industries Group Ltd. acquired entire share capital of Gahagan Paints in 1933 and thus, Goodlass Wall (India) Ltd. was born. Subsequently, by 1946, Goodlass Wall (India) Ltd. was known as Goodlass Wall Pvt. Ltd. In 1957, Goodlass Wall Pvt. Ltd. grew popular as Goodlass Nerolac Paints (Pvt.) Ltd. Also, it went public in the same year and established itself as Goodlass Nerolac Paints Ltd. In 1976, Goodlass Nerolac Paints Ltd. became a part of the Tata Forbes Group on acquisition of a part of the foreign shareholdings by Forbes Gokak. In 1983, Goodlass Nerolac Paints Ltd. strengthened itself by entering in technical collaboration agreements with Kansai Paint Co. Ltd., Japan and Nihon Tokushu Toryo Co. Ltd., Japan. In 1986, Goodlass Nerolac Paints Ltd. turned into a joint venture of the Tata Forbes and the Kansai Paint Co. Ltd., with the latter acquiring 36% of its share capital. In 1999, Kansai Paint Company Ltd., Japan took over the entire stake of Tata Forbes group and thus GNP became a wholly owned subsidiary of Kansai Paint Company Ltd. In 2006, on the 11th of July, Goodlass Nerolac Paints Ltd. name has been changed to Kansai Nerolac Paints Ltd.
