Pachin receives Egypt’s first Green Label for paints

The Egyptian Organization for Standardization and Quality (EOS) awarded the first Green Label for paints to El Obour Paints and Chemical Industries Company (Pachin) for its Shiny Silk 1160 product. Pachin thus became the first Egyptian company to obtain this certification, which serves as an important tool to encourage national industries to shift toward sustainable production and provide safe, eco-friendly products in line with global efforts to combat climate change.

Dr. Khaled Soufi, Chairman of EOS, stated that the achievement comes in line with directives from Lieutenant General Kamel Al Wazir, Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development and Minister of Industry and Transport. He explained that the initiative supports Egyptian industry and enhances the competitiveness of local products, consistent with the state’s vision for sustainable industrial development and boosting exports to global markets.

Soufi added that the Green Label also reflects the Egyptian industrial sector’s awareness of the importance of responsible practices. It serves as a model for other Egyptian companies across different sectors. He stressed that EOS will continue to promote a culture of quality and adherence to standards, while working to expand the Green Label initiative to more products and industries. This, he said, will strengthen the position of Egyptian industry locally, regionally, and internationally, and reinforce consumer confidence in Egyptian products as safe and environmentally friendly.

Engineer Ekram Saeed, Head of the Environmental Performance Unit at EOS, noted that awarding the Green Label to paints is an important step toward broadening the range of Egyptian products certified under the program. She confirmed that her unit is providing continuous technical support to companies seeking to transition to sustainable production.

Officials from Pachin stressed that obtaining the first Green Label for paints in Egypt crowns the company’s ongoing efforts to develop innovative products that meet the highest standards of quality and environmental safety. They affirmed that Pachin will continue to expand its eco-friendly solutions in line with national policies and global market trends.
