In
1994, Hagemeyer was bought over by Dunlop Nigeria PLC, which
led to the change of both the corporate and brand names to
DN MEYER PLC and MEYER PAINTS respectively. However, in July
2003, Dunlop Nigeria PLC divested its controlling shares from
DN MEYER PLC to ACIMS Limited and DN MEYER PLC ceased to be
a subsidiary of Dunlop Nigeria PLC. About this same period,
DN MEYER PLC acquired the Flooring Adhesives business of Dunlop
PLC thereby extending the scope of its industrial operation
from the production and marketing of only paints to the production
and marketing of floor tiles and adhesives. The
production of Floor Tiles is presently suspended pending re-tooling
of the Factory.
In
February, 2010, a new set of core investors led by Citiprops
Limited purchased the stake of ACIMS Limited in the Company.
In
the 21 st century, we realize that doing more will not be
enough but being different holds the key to success. DN MEYER
PLC is strategically positioned to revolutionize the paint
industry through novel initiatives and also our background
of Sigma international and Dunlop extractions has positioned
us as a Multi Product Company that offers world class quality
and services.
Today,
DN MEYER Plc has expanded into complimentary and allied areas
of the Paint industry. Our recent heavy investment into the
R & D of road lining Paints has made us the preferred
local supplier of road lining paints with tremendous application
capacity. Furthermore, we have a fully owned subsidiary DNM
Construction Limited that has exhibited its project management
expertise in the construction of 2 housing Estates – Abeokuta
and Abuja within a space of 3 years, whilst expanding the
Meyer Painters Club with over 800 members in 8 states of the
country.
The
company is committed to the vision of being the undisputed
and dominant leader in the finishing business of the construction
sector with quality and reliable products, excellent customer
service and market presence.
In
her 50 years of existence, DNM has the greatest opportunity
to reinvent herself for breakthrough as a key player in Nigeria
’s emerging economy.
A
ten-year visioning process confirms that with the right growth
strategy and adequate capitalization, DNM should deliver a
turnover of N25 billion and PBT of 15% to her shareholders
in 2016.
