Company Story

From Benghazi to the whole country.

El-Madina Coatings was founded in Benghazi in 1986 with a simple commitment: make dependable paint for Libyan buildings, by people who understand Libyan conditions. Four decades on, that commitment is unchanged — but the company has grown into a national manufacturer with two factories, multiple production lines and an internationally certified quality system.

Growth has been built on innovation: patented formulations, a 2,000+ colour tinting system, and a product range that spans primers, putties, interior and exterior paints, decorative finishes, oil & enamels and waterproofing.

Vision

The standard for coatings in Libya.

To be the benchmark for coatings manufactured in Libya — the first specification choice of engineers, contractors and consultants, and a name families trust on their own homes. We hold ourselves to that standard through certified quality systems, patented formulation and four decades of unbroken continuity on the same walls.

Mission

Dependable products, made locally.

To manufacture certified, high-performance coatings engineered for Libyan climate, substrates and construction practice — backed by published Technical Data Sheets, a specification-support team, and a 17-point national distribution network that keeps the range within reach of every project, in every region.

Core Values

What we stand on.

Quality without compromise

Every batch is tested against consistent, certified standards under our ISO 9001 quality system — so the tenth villa performs exactly like the first.

Built for Libya

Formulated for Libyan sun, salt air and cement substrates — coatings developed and proven in the conditions they are made to withstand.

Innovation

Continuous research and development — 45 patents, refined formulations for adhesion and weather resistance, and a 2,000+ colour tinting system.

Partnership

We grow alongside our distributors, contractors and engineers — with technical backup from the factory whenever a project needs it.

Innovation & Research

Engineered, not improvised.

MCC invests continuously in research and development — refining formulations for adhesion, weather and UV resistance, and developing the patented technologies and tinting system behind the range. Every product ships with a full Technical Data Sheet.
