About SIGMA
SIGMA origins can be traced back to 1722 when the first paint company in the world Pieter Schoen was founded in Amsterdam. In 1969 the oil company Petrofina acquired three companies Pieter Schoen, Varrosieau and Vettewinkle and merged them into Sigma Coatings. Sigma is now part of the global PPG group of companies, the second largest paint company in the world.
Our history dates back to the late 1960’s when we first entered the market as agents and stockists for Pieter Schoen Marine Paints. In 1982 Sigma Coatings Malta was established with local production facilities, one of the first paint factories located in the country of Malta. Production started in May 1983, our main products at this time were marine coatings supplied to the then booming Malta Dockyard.
“With excellent customer service, a great team and exceptional products we have established SIGMA as the number one paint company in Malta.”
– Mr. A.V Critien, Managing Director, Sigma Coatings Malta
Since 1995 we have expanded our production ranges and now produce both marine and decorative paints for the local market. The decorative side of the business has seen year on year growth. Our decorative range of products are available throughout the country via our extensive stockists with some offering in store tinting and mixing.
Having achieved ISO 9001 in 2008 we are committed to maintaining our rigorous standards.
