The Legacy of Omega Paints

Bahrain TV featured OPCI in their "Made in Bahrain" segment, showcasing our journey from a visionary family business to the Kingdom's first 100% Bahraini-owned paint manufacturing facility. 


This documentary captures the essence of our heritage and the leadership that has driven our success for over four decades.

Made in Bahrain Segment

Publication Year: 2018

Foundation Story

In this exclusive interview, our Chairman shares the remarkable story of how Ahmed Ibrahim Mohamed established the first national Bahraini paint factory in the late 1970s. With over 30 years in paints and building materials trade, he recognized the growing demand for quality coatings during Bahrain's construction boom.

"The factory was established in 1978-79 in the Northern Sitra industrial area," explains our Chairman. "It was the first national Bahraini paint factory, 100% based in the Kingdom of Bahrain, established to meet rising market demand when no national factory existed to cover local requirements."
