Sadolin Paints East Africa Limited is set to stop using the household name in manufacturing its paint following termination of a deal it had with Dutch company Akzo Nobel Coatings International BV, which owns the trademark.
Akzo in February sent a one year notice to Sadolin Paints East Africa, indicating that the licence agreement with the local firm would come to an end on February 1, 2018, instead of the original December 31, 2019, date.
