We help our consumers to imagine and create better places and spaces in which to live and work. DuluxGroup's origins date back to 1918, with its original heritage in decorative paint for Australian and New Zealand homes. Today, DuluxGroup is a leading marketer and manufacturer of premium branded products that protect, maintain and enhance the spaces and places in which we live and work. More about our Core Purpose

From household rooms transformed by colour and texture, to a garden brimming with spring vegetables, to the latest in garage door design and technology, to the industrial coatings that protect landmark infrastructure such as bridges - DuluxGroup products are at work. Our brands have been woven into the fabric of the communities where we operate, helping consumers to live better and more comfortable lives.

DuluxGroup employs approximately 8,000 people in Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, China, the United Kingdom and throughout Europe.

In late 2019, DuluxGroup became part of Nippon Paint Holdings, the world’s fourth largest paint company and the largest in the Asia Pacific, opening up new opportunities for DuluxGroup to grow.
