About IPSA

IPSA stands for Independent Paint Specialists Australia and we are what we say we are.

IPSA was born from a number of meetings over the past 18 months. All parties came together with an aligned vision to “repaint the channel” and develop a business model that would provide Paint Specialists the best opportunity to create strong, profitable businesses that could compete effectively against corporate hardware and multinational manufacturers’ company owned stores.

IPSA would be the new home for Independent Paint Specialists across Australia with a focus on professional development, training, best practice systemisation and collective marketing to add value to its members and their businesses.

An advisory board was formed, and representatives voted unanimously to adopt a name for the new united group that incorporated “Haymes” due to the heritage and equity in its brand, now the largest national Australian owned paint manufacturer.
