Driven by colour

EZ Tint adds value to business offering tinting equipment support and complete colour management solutions for manufacturers and retailers alike.

Paint is one of the largest categories in the hardware retail sector and it is important that manufacturers and retailers alike capitalise on this ensuring increased margins and customer satisfaction/retention.

Tinting of colours has grown significantly over the past 20 years with global experts suggesting a trend increase in excess of 50% for both the retail and manufacturing sectors. Consumers prefer the option of tinting to choosing standard colours due to the much wider choice availability, but they fear inconsistency and colour discrepancies added to the perceived higher costs that come with tinting. With the right technology and support partner these fears can be overcome.

Sub- Saharan Africa has about 4 000 tinting dispensers installed. The staff at EZ Tint have actively commissioned and supported of at least 1 400 of these units over the past 10 years. EZ tint has extensive knowledge on all brands, makes and models of tinting equipment and their relevant software, including those that are independent of tinting machine manufacturing. For years retailers and manufacturers have bought what is available with no customisable option to suit their specific requirements. EZ Tint will now be offering customised solutions for all volume requirements from small to large ensuring highest productivity at the lowest cost.

Dispensers will incorporate a local touch and feel with guarantees that will exceed those of other manufacturers. January 2022 saw EZ Tint launch its first PCP technology dispenser in SA – UMOYA. Featuring 16 canister independent driven circuitry, the dispenser will have up to a 3-year guarantee under an annual maintenance contract, which once paid guarantees no further costs to the purchaser, reducing total cost of ownership for both retailers and manufacturers.
