The Zimbabwean construction and hardware manufacturing sector has reached a new benchmark of excellence following the official announcement that Splash Paints and Plastics has achieved ISO certification. This international recognition serves as an official stamp of approval for the company’s management systems and manufacturing processes, reinforcing its position as a market leader in the production of high-quality paints, drainage solutions, and electrical fittings. For the team at Splash, this milestone is the culmination of a long-term commitment to operational discipline and a promise to deliver products that meet rigorous global standards.
Based at its expansive facility at 12 and 13 Hanover Road in Workington, Harare, Splash Paints has long been a household name for its comprehensive range of PVA and enamel paints. However, the move toward ISO certification signifies a strategic shift toward even stricter quality controls.
For the end consumer, this means that every litre of paint—whether it is a durable exterior PVA or a high-gloss enamel—now undergoes a more sophisticated verification process to ensure consistency, weather resistance, and color accuracy. In a market where reliability is paramount, this certification provides contractors and homeowners alike with the peace of mind that they are investing in products proven to withstand the test of time.
Beyond its popular paint lines, the certification covers the company’s diverse industrial portfolio, including PVC drainage pipes and fittings, as well as its growing range of electrical and solar fittings. As Zimbabwe continues to see a surge in residential and commercial infrastructure projects, the demand for certified, high-performance piping and electrical components has never been higher. By aligning its manufacturing of drainage and solar solutions with international best practices, Splash is directly supporting the national goal of building sustainable, high-quality infrastructure that adheres to modern safety codes.
While the “official stamp” is new, the leadership at Splash Paints and Plastics emphasizes that the core values of the business remain unchanged. The transition to ISO standards was designed to formalize the care, focus, and purpose that customers have trusted for years. This achievement is not merely an internal administrative victory but a transformative development that enhances the company’s ability to compete on a regional stage.
As the team celebrates this milestone, the message to the Zimbabwean public is clear: Splash remains dedicated to local innovation and excellence, ensuring that the “Same Care, Higher Standards” philosophy continues to drive every product that leaves the Hanover Road factory.
