Jotun Paints, one of the world’s leading producers and distributors of paints and powder coatings, continues to play a key role in the local community’s ongoing efforts to restore and renovate historical Egyptian landmarks. The leading company has been supplying essential materials like paints, tools and clothes to various civic groups involved in the restoration and renovation initiatives.

Over the last few weeks, various civic groups and Jotun have implemented the repainting of the sidewalks in Al Hussein Street in Azhar, the fences along Al Hussein University Hospital and the replanting and redecoration of the garden in front of Al Hussein Mosque.

The metal fences and sidewalks of Al Shakakini Palace in Ghamra also underwent repainting along with the area surrounding Ahmed Ibn Tulun Mosque.

“Jotun continues to heed the local community’s call to help in the ongoing effort to renovate and restore iconic Egyptian places,” said Tor Hatlo-Johansen, General Manager, El- Mohandes Jotun Egypt. “We affirm our support to this move and will continue to supply essential equipment and materials needed in the move to restore these key places.
