Kansai Plascon’s managing director praised the vital role of its partners in securing the company’s market dominance during a glamorous 2025 Partners’ Gala at the Kampala Serena Hotel Helipad. The event, themed “Celebrating Loyalty, Building Sustainability,” brought together top distributors and industry stakeholders for an evening of appreciation and networking.
The gala featured entertainment, a special dinner, and inspiring speeches. Ugandan music sensation Vinka from Swangz Avenue electrified the crowd with a performance of her hit songs, including “Believe” and “Overdose.”
Santosh Gumte, Managing Director of Kansai Plascon, delivered the keynote address, emphasizing the indispensable contribution of the partners. “Tonight is a testament to the power of partnership,” Gumte said. “Each one of you here has over the years continued to play a crucial role in making Plascon the most trusted paint brand in Uganda. Your dedication, resilience, and support have driven our growth, enabling us to deliver superior quality, innovation, and unmatched service to our customers. As we look ahead, we remain committed to investing in cutting-edge solutions, expanding our product range, and strengthening this partnership to achieve even greater milestones together.”
Daniel Adrian Kayongo, Plascon Brand Manager, echoed Gumte’s sentiments, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. “Partnership is at the heart of everything we do at Plascon,” Kayongo stated. “Our success is not just measured by sales figures but by the trust we’ve built with you, our partners, and the communities we serve. Your efforts in promoting the Plascon brand, ensuring product accessibility, and maintaining high standards have solidified our leadership in the market. Moving forward, we will continue to innovate, support your businesses, and deliver paint solutions that transform spaces and inspire confidence.”
Moses Kato, National Sales Manager, highlighted the company’s dedication to building strong relationships and contributing to Uganda’s development. “Away from just selling paint, at Plascon, we build dreams, empower businesses, and support national progress,” Kato said. “Our partnership with you goes beyond transactions; it’s about creating lasting value. Whether through sponsoring sports, supporting local talent and communities, or ensuring our products meet the highest standards, we are proud to walk this journey with you. Together, we will keep setting benchmarks in quality, service, and innovation.”
