Hilton Banks expands manufacturing capabilities with acquisition of Flag Paints

Flag Paints, established in 1939, has built a strong reputation for manufacturing high-quality paints, coatings, and surface finishes for various industries, including marine, decorative, and industrial sectors.

"We're incredibly excited about what the Flag Paints acquisition means for HB42,” says Scarlet, Creative Director at HB42. “Their specialist expertise in marine and industrial finishes significantly strengthens our product pipeline, allowing us to offer tradespeople an even broader array of high-performance coatings. This move ensures our brand remains at the forefront of quality, providing our users with far more versatile and effective solutions across adhesives, fillers, sealants, and now, an expanded range of coatings."

This strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone in Hilton Banks' expansion and commitment to delivering exceptional products and services to its customers. The acquisition will enable Hilton Banks to leverage Flag Paints' extensive research & development and manufacturing capabilities.

“We are delighted to welcome Flag Paints Ltd into the Hilton Banks family,” says Charlie Banks, Managing Director of Hilton Banks Group. “Their expertise in specialist coatings and waxes, combined with our existing product portfolio, will enable us to offer even more innovative and tailored solutions to our customers.”

Flag Paints' existing operations in Essex will continue to operate under the Hilton Banks umbrella, ensuring a seamless transition for employees, customers, and partners. The combined strengths of both companies will create new opportunities for growth and development in the paint and coatings industry and beyond.
