Founder
 Born
and educated in Damascus, Syria, Ihsan Azmeh got his start in business in
1938, serving as an assistant in his father's trading company.
An ambitious apprentice, Ihsan soon struck out on his own, and by the
mid-1940's had established a thriving import-export business.
Decorative paints proved an extremely popular import product and
helped direct the course of Ihsan's burgeoning business.
Throughout the 1950's, he enjoyed success as a managing partner with
Kassioun Trading and Mechanical Works Co., the Syrian division of
Magiruz-Deutz.
The well-known German parent company specialized in heavy equipment,
including trucks, buses, and a variety of diesel-fuel operated engines.
Despite his achievements with Kassioun, restrictive
government policies of the early 1960's encouraged Ihsan to redirect his
business talents, specializing in the decorative paint division of his
own company.
He subsequently
purchased a factory facility and began the domestic production of his
own brand of paints in 1963. From its inception, Ihsan
pursued technical excellence in the manufacture of his signature line
and was devoted to mastering both the art and science of the industry.
As he developed greater expertise in the field, demand for his fine
products grew. Ihsan invested in more modern
equipment, adding additional facilities and expanding his product line
to include nitrocellulose-based, industrial, automotive, and acrylic
products.
An
enormously successful entrepreneur and businessman, Ihsan passed away in
July 1998.
He is remembered as a self-made man, ambitious, dedicated,
and honest. Upon his death, his sons
Maher Azmeh, a mechanical engineer, and Samer Azmeh, a chemist, assumed
management of his state-of-the-art facility.
In commemoration of his life and work, we pay him tribute, asking
almighty God to rest his soul in peace.
