Heritage and Vision
For three quarters of a century, Chakarian Colour Centres has been a cornerstone of Cyprus’s interior‑finishing market. From the kitchen walls of grandparents to the façade of modern commercial premises, the company has supplied colour solutions that shape both private homes and public spaces.
Foundations Laid in 1951
The story began in 1951, when a modest family‑run shop opened its doors in a rapidly changing Cyprus. Guided by a philosophy that placed knowledge, consistency and personal relationships at the heart of business, the founders laid the groundwork for a legacy that would endure across generations.
Second‑Generation Expansion and Innovation
With the arrival of the second generation, Chakarian broadened its footprint by opening additional retail outlets and forging partnerships with leading international brands such as Dulux, Vivechrom, Hammerite and PPG. In 1994 the firm introduced Cyprus’s first colour‑mixing machine, delivering unprecedented accuracy, customisation and product range to contractors and DIY enthusiasts alike.
People‑Centred Culture
The true strength of Chakarian lies not only in premium products but in its people. A tightly knit family and corporate culture, built on human‑centred values, has cultivated a workforce that has grown together with the business—some staff members boasting nearly five decades of service. This continuity translates into trusted advice, technical support and reliable service for every client.
Third Generation: Sustainability and Digitalisation
Today, the third generation is steering the company toward a future defined by environmental responsibility and digital tools. Investments are being made in low‑VOC paints, eco‑friendly packaging and online colour‑selection platforms, ensuring that Chakarian remains competitive in an era where sustainability and customer experience are paramount.
Looking Ahead
Now operating six stores across Cyprus, Chakarian Colour Centres combines the reliability of a 75‑year heritage with the agility of a modern enterprise. The milestone celebration honors not only the company’s past but also the partners, employees and customers who have walked the journey together. As the firm prepares for the next 75 years, its commitment to quality, innovation and community stays unwavering.
