Trowel Plastics Barbados Limited

Today, TPBL products are distributed in Antigua, Grenada, Guyana, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, St. Vincent, Suriname, and Trinidad & Tobago. The principal activities of Trowel Plastics Barbados Limited include: manufacturing of textured wall coatings, emulsion paints, roofing compounds, floor paints, glaze, water sealants, and related services for residential and commercial property maintenance. At the helm of the firm is Mr. H. Waldo Clarke, the Managing Director and Chairman of the Board. He recounts, “The company was incorporated back in 1966 and went into full operations in 1967. Like most businesses, it has gone through peaks and valleys. They had a small complement of about 10 staff at the time of inception, inclusive of admin and production and sales. And that number grew substantially through the decades and we have now reverted to a complement of about 26. At our facility in Bagatelle, St. James parish, we do manufacturing and retail of the product SKUs. We also have a second independent location in St. George which does retail only. That was brought on about 18 months ago and is doing very well.” TPBL predominately produces textured architectural coatings, which come in five grade options. Starting with the finest, they are extra fine; smooth flex; 1 millimeter; 1.5 millimeter; and 3 millimeter. And they have another texture-based product called a roll-on.
