    In a strong demonstration of corporate social responsibility and commitment to cultural preservation, Kansai Plascon Uganda has today officially handed over paint and items worth UGX 50 million to the Buganda Kingdom for the refurbishment of Bulange Mengo, the Kingdom’s central administrative building and cultural landmark. The donation, made as part of the company’s ongoing Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, was officially handed over in a ceremony attended by Owek. Charles Peter Mayiga, the Katikkiro of Buganda, alongside Buganda Kingdom officials, the Plascon Uganda team led by Managing Director Mr. Santosh Gumte, and members of the press.

     

    Now in the seventh year of a strong and purposeful partnership, Plascon and the Buganda Kingdom continue to collaborate on projects aimed at uplifting communities, preserving heritage, and investing in the future. This year’s paint handover includes not only the donation of high-quality paint but also the provision of a professional painting team to restore Bulange Mengo’s structure to its original beauty.

     

    Speaking at the event, Mr. Gumte expressed his appreciation for the Kingdom’s trust in Plascon and emphasized the broader meaning behind the gesture.

     

    “It is a great privilege for us to contribute to the refurbishment of Bulange Mengo, a building that is not only central to the Kingdom’s administration but also deeply symbolic of Buganda’s history and culture. We view this not merely as a donation, but as a meaningful contribution to safeguarding our shared heritage. When we help preserve landmarks like Bulange, we’re helping future generations to connect with their identity,” said Mr. Gumte.

     

    He also reiterated Plascon’s long-term vision of working with cultural institutions to deliver sustainable impact.

Uganda’s population is largely made up of young people, and when responsible businesses like Plascon thrive, they create employment, expand opportunity, and contribute significantly to our economy. This is one of the few companies that continue to faithfully meet tax obligations, and that speaks volumes about its character,” said the Katikkiro.

     

    He went on to describe the importance of mutual respect and goodwill in sustaining partnerships that benefit the wider community.

     

    “A company with empathy and a sense of purpose will always stand the test of time. Plascon has demonstrated that they care, not only through product quality and brand consistency but also through their willingness to invest in the heritage of Buganda. From painting our buildings to supporting Masaza football, they have positioned themselves as a true friend to the Kingdom and its people,” he remarked.

     

    Plascon’s involvement in the refurbishment of Buganda’s landmarks goes far beyond Bulange. Over the years, the company has contributed to the refurbishment of Twekobe, Butikkiro, and other important structures within the Kingdom, ensuring that these symbols of history remain intact and vibrant. Their support extends to sports development as well, with ongoing sponsorships of initiatives like the Masaza Cup and Buddu FC, which provides platforms for young talent across the region.
