From a single factory to Libya's trusted paint manufacturer
Naqaa Altharaa was founded in Ain Zarah, Tripoli, with a clear mission: to produce world-class paints that perform in Libya's demanding climate — intense UV, coastal humidity, and extreme temperature swings.
Over two decades, we have grown from a regional supplier into one of Libya's most recognised paint manufacturers, with a product range spanning interior emulsions, exterior facade systems, industrial protective coatings, decorative finishes, and automotive refinishing products.
Every formula we produce is developed and tested in-house, using raw materials sourced from certified international suppliers. Our commitment is simple: quality you can see, durability you can trust.
Quality & compliance
Naqaa Altharaa operates under internationally recognised quality management standards. Our manufacturing processes and products are regularly audited to ensure compliance with Libyan Standards Authority requirements and international coating specifications.

Manufacturing capabilities
State-of-the-art production in Tripoli
In-house R&D laboratory
Our chemists develop and refine every formula on-site, testing for adhesion, coverage, UV stability, and chemical resistance before any product reaches market.
High-capacity production lines
Multiple automated production lines allow us to fulfil large-volume orders for contractors and government projects without compromising on consistency or lead times.
Colour matching technology
Advanced spectrophotometric colour matching enables us to reproduce any RAL, NCS, or custom colour with precision — critical for architectural and automotive clients.
Quality control at every stage
From raw material intake to final packaging, every batch undergoes rigorous QC checks. We maintain full traceability across our supply chain.
Climate-adapted formulation
Our products are specifically engineered for Libya's climate — formulated to resist UV degradation, sand abrasion, and the humidity of coastal regions.
Bulk and retail packaging
We supply in formats from 1-litre retail tins to 200-litre industrial drums, with custom labelling available for trade and distribution partners.
What drives us
Quality without compromise
We never cut corners on raw materials or process. Every tin that leaves our factory meets the same exacting standard.
Local expertise
We understand Libya's construction landscape, climate, and market needs better than any imported brand — because we live and work here.
Long-term partnerships
We build relationships with contractors, architects, and distributors based on reliability, technical support, and consistent supply.
What professionals say
Trusted by contractors, architects, and developers across Libya
We have specified Naqaa Altharaa's Shield Facade system on every major residential project in Tripoli for the past eight years. The adhesion and UV resistance in our coastal climate is simply unmatched by any imported alternative.

As a painting contractor, consistency between batches is everything. Naqaa Altharaa delivers the same colour, viscosity, and coverage every single time — that reliability is what keeps our clients happy and our timelines on track.

Master Contractor
Bousetta Finishing Works, Benghazi
Their epoxy floor coating system transformed our warehouse facility. Two years on, the floor still looks pristine under heavy forklift traffic. The technical support team guided us through every step of the application.

Facilities Director
Zawawi Industrial Group, Misrata
I have worked with paint suppliers across North Africa and the Gulf. Naqaa Altharaa stands out for one reason: they actually understand the Libyan climate. Their formulations perform where imported brands fail within a season.
