UCP Paint Featured in AQMAT Magazine, Winter 2025

A Legacy Built on Relationships

For 65 years, UCP Paint has been quietly shaping the coatings industry from Baie-D’Urfé, Québec. Founded in 1960, the company was built on a simple belief - paint should serve people, not the other way around. We are proud to be featured in the Winter edition of the AQMAT magazine.

Custom Paint, Built with Purpose

Today, UCP produces over 10 million liters of paint annually across road marking, industrial, architectural, and residential markets. At the core of this output is an advanced in-house R&D laboratory where every formula is engineered to meet precise client needs. Whether refining an existing product or developing something entirely new, UCP collaborates directly with partners to deliver coatings that perform in the real world.

UCP is also a trusted private-label manufacturer, producing paint under clients’ own brands. The company never competes with its partners. Instead, it invests its full expertise into helping them succeed. As President Asher Jakabovits, third generation at the helm, shares: “We can put our best know-how into every gallon because we never compete with our clients using our own brands.”

Manufacturing with Responsibility

Sustainability at UCP is not a trend - it is a responsibility. From recyclable containers to reusing wash water for community sports fields, every initiative reflects a belief that what is good for the planet is also good for business.

UCP is actively working toward carbon neutrality and is proactively removing fluorinated compounds from its coatings by 2026, ahead of regulation. With supply chains rooted in North America and long-standing supplier relationships, the company continues to build resilience while reducing its environmental footprint.

The People Behind Every Gallon

Behind every container is a team that embodies UCP’s values. With 75 employees, many of whom have spent decades with the company, UCP has built a culture grounded in respect, integrity, open communication, and growth. Continuous training, strong safety practices, and genuine care for employee well-being create an environment where people grow alongside the business.

Rooted in tradition. Propelled by innovation.UCP’s story is one of craftsmanship, partnership, and purpose. And it is still being written.
