Our Founding Story:
A Legacy Forged in Innovation Since 1960
Founder - Mr Ng Joo Soon
Happy Homes Build Strong Nations
Growing up in bomb-scarred Singapore during World War II, Ng Joo Soon lost friends and relatives far too young. Instead of growing bitter, he made himself a promise: “Wherever life takes me, I’ll bring back beauty and comfort.” When peace finally returned, Mr. Ng launched Dove Paint in 1960. The dove with an olive branch became his logo—and his mission. Every can he sold whispered the same idea: a home filled with warmth can mend hearts and pull families together.
Starting with one small workshop and a handful of local builders, Mr. Ng obsessed over quality. Word spread, and soon Dove Paint, later DoveChem, was protecting walls across Southeast Asia and, eventually, China. Mr. Ng believed that happy homes build strong nations. He taught his team to treat every can of paint as a “vessel of possibility” and every room as a future sanctuary

Elevating Surfaces Across Cities, Homes & Worlds of Imagination
DOVE PAINT
From the 1970s through the 2000s, Dove Paint expanded from a local manufacturer into a regional leader shaping skylines, interiors, and world-class themed environments across the Asia Pacific. Our innovations now support designers, developers, and art directors in creating spaces that are more expressive, more durable, and more intelligently engineered.
Engineering the Future of Modern Surfaces
As cities pursue greener, smarter, and more cost-efficient construction technologies, Dove Paint remains at the forefront with solutions that are proven, scalable, and crafted to elevate the urban landscape, the interior experience, and the worlds of imagination alike.
Exterior Multicolor Stone :
Lightweight Architecture, Skyline-Scale Impact
We pioneered multicolor stone technology in Asia, replacing heavy granite cladding with lightweight, design-driven façade systems that uplift performance and property value.
Today, Dove exterior coatings span 850 million m² of building façades across the region. Our flagship Multicolor Stone Series alone covers over 250 million m², offering a cost-efficient, weather-resistant, and visually compelling alternative to natural stone.
Trusted by developers including CapitaLand, Sun Hung Kai Properties, and China Resources Land, our systems support landmark residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects.
