The Tasmanian Paint Shop is a second generation family business that has been producing quality paints and timber finishes in Tasmania since 1967. When TasPaints was founded by Michael Gillian Desmarchelier, there were numerous paint producers in the state. With the passage of time the others left leaving TasPaints as the only manufacturer of paints and surface coatings in Tasmania. Guardianship of the business also changed with the second generation of Desmarcheliers Simon Jo and their families. To bear a sound and cordial labor environment where employees can develop and prosper. To be a responsible and scrupulous corporate citizen. The Hayes family, born in Ballarat in 1935, their family run business is now in the hands of the fourth generation of Hayes.
