Circle Syntalux Ltd. has been producing and selling high quality paints in Ireland for well over 60 years. The business was founded in Dublin in 1945. In those days there were well over a dozen paint makers in Dublin but over the years most of these have merged or gone out of business. Circle paints Ltd. and Synthesis Ltd. merged in 2003 and became Circle Syntalux Ltd.
Synthesis Ltd. was founded by the Granville family at Woodbine Avenue, Blackrock, Co. Dublin in 1945 and produced a full range of household paints, primers, light industrial paints and agricultural paints. Among their most successful brands is Syn-Oxide which is the brand leader in Ireland in paints for corrugated steel sheds and farm buildings.
Circle Paints formerly Sandtex Ireland Ltd. was established by Blue Circle Ind. Plc. and first produced Snowcem Cement Paint in Dublin in 1954. Later it produced a revolutionary new Exterior Masonry Paint with the launch of Sandtex Matt. Sandtex quickly became the brand leader in masonry paints in Ireland.
