Brand Story
Dengta Pai (Lighthouse) originated in Tianjin, with a history dating back to early 20th-century China. In 1916 (the fifth year of the Republic of China), Chen Diaofu, a pioneer of Tianjin's paint industry, founded Yongming Paint Factory, which later evolved into the Dengta Pai brand. After returning from studies abroad, Chen was determined to serve the country through industry, introducing advanced technology and producing China's first domestically made paints. The name 'Lighthouse' symbolizes guidance, quality, and trust. During the challenging period of national industry, Dengta Pai persisted in independent innovation, breaking foreign monopolies and becoming a source of pride for national industry. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the brand continued to grow, with its products widely used in construction, ships, bridges, and key national projects such as the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge. Dengta Pai is not just a brand; it embodies the spirit of self-reliance and resilience in modern Chinese industry.
