Amekicolor was founded by Jacques Rusirare in Kigali with a small production facility and a vision to create high-quality paints for the Rwandan market.
We expanded our production capabilities and introduced water-based paints, becoming the first manufacturer in Rwanda to offer eco-friendly paint solutions.
Amekicolor received the National Quality Excellence Award for our commitment to product quality and environmental responsibility.
