1982

Linkup Paints was first established in the New Zealand paint industry in 1982. The journey started in Hamilton, where the Adamson family embarked on a mission to serve the needs of the automotive, industrial, marine, wood finishing, and home decorating industries. This first stroke of the brush marked the beginning of an ethos committed to service that would define the company. In 1990, Linkup Paints expanded and opened a branch in Tauranga, known today as Linkup Paints Bay of Plenty (BOP).

A new chapter began in October 2005, when Jason and Kim Barry, primed with a strong vision for the future, took the reins of Linkup Paints BOP. Jason, who had long been part of the Linkup Paints family in various roles, brought a wealth of experience along with a deep understanding of the company’s ethos. This transition marked a period of renewed energy and focus, propelling the company into its next phase of growth.
