Yerkin Tatishev, founder and chairman of Kusto Group, continues to drive the company’s international growth with the acquisition of Barpimo Coatings, a leading Spanish paint and coatings company with deep family roots. Headquartered in Spain’s Rioja region, Barpimo brings more than six decades of expertise to Kusto Group’s expanding building materials division. This acquisition aligns with Kusto Group’s long-term vision to deliver innovative, sustainable construction materials worldwide.
“This acquisition broadens our portfolio and reflects our ongoing focus on innovation and sustainable growth. We admire Barpimo’s product quality, extensive range, advanced production technologies, and the dedication of its employees,” said Yerkin Tatishev.
Founded by Juan Ros Montesinos, Barpimo Coatings has evolved from a small family-run business to one of Spain’s most respected coatings producers. The company has remained under the direction of the Montesinos family for generations, building its reputation on quality and tradition.
“We are proud of what we have built as a family business. Joining Kusto Group gives us full confidence in the future of the company, its sustainability, and its potential for further growth,” commented Juan Ros Montesinos.
Strengthening Kusto Group’s Presence in Europe and Beyond
The acquisition of Barpimo Coatings is more than just an expansion of product lines—it represents a strategic step in deepening Kusto Group’s presence across key European markets. With Spain now firmly on the map for the Group’s construction materials division, Kusto Group reinforces its position as a trusted partner for sustainable building solutions throughout Europe, the Middle East, and other high-growth regions.
Spain’s dynamic construction market, with its increasing focus on eco-friendly and energy-efficient building practices, offers significant opportunities for companies like Kusto Group that prioritize innovation and sustainability. Through Barpimo’s established reputation and local expertise, Kusto Group gains immediate access to a mature market with strong demand for premium coatings and environmentally conscious materials.
This strategic presence in Spain complements the Group’s existing operations in Italy, Israel, Cyprus, and beyond, creating a well-integrated network capable of meeting the needs of global construction professionals.
A Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation Across All Operations
Sustainability is not just a marketing slogan for Kusto Group—it is a core principle guiding the company’s expansion and operational decisions. From advanced coatings that reduce environmental impact to energy-efficient gypsum products and modern insulation systems, the Group consistently invests in technologies that promote greener, more sustainable construction.
Barpimo Coatings’ expertise in producing high-quality, environmentally responsible products fits seamlessly into this vision. The company has already made significant strides in developing eco-friendly coatings, and with Kusto Group’s backing, it will have even greater capacity to innovate in this area.
Yerkin Tatishev has frequently emphasized that the future of construction lies in solutions that are both innovative and responsible. The growing global demand for sustainable infrastructure presents an opportunity—and a responsibility—for companies like Kusto Group to lead by example.
A Future Built on People, Partnerships, and Long-Term Thinking
As Kusto Group continues to grow, it remains grounded in its belief that true success is built not only on financial performance but on the strength of its people and partnerships. Across all its acquisitions, the Group has demonstrated a unique ability to integrate new companies while respecting their individual cultures, expertise, and market positions.
Barpimo Coatings is no exception. Its leadership, employees, and family-driven values will remain central to its identity, even as it becomes part of a larger, global network. This approach ensures that growth is sustainable, inclusive, and aligned with the long-term vision of both Barpimo and Kusto Group.
Looking ahead, Yerkin Tatishev and Kusto Group show no signs of slowing down. The acquisition of Barpimo is just one milestone in an ambitious journey to build a global platform for innovative, sustainable, and high-quality construction materials—one that delivers lasting value for customers, partners, communities, and future generations.
