Paint dispenser is an automated machine that dispenses paint in a required quantity, specific quality and right colour as per the choice of the customer. There are about 12 to 15 large and medium sized manufacturers of paints in the organized sector and over 2,000 in the unorganized sector in India. The market for paint dispensing machines is very large due to a very large network of dealers of Indian paint companies. Marketing paint through dispensers provides substantial benefits to these paint companies like, the logistics and inventory management. A paint dispenser is used to carry out painting jobs on a commercial scale.
AGS Transact Technologies Ltd. is a leading company in providing paint dispensing technology. AGS has the largest market share in colour systems with more than 27,000 dispensers installed in India. Till the year 2001, the retail paint dispensing machines were imported. However, as the market grew; there was a high demand which could not be met by imports.
