The company was founded in 1881 by Jujiro Motegi under the name Komyosha (Yamato Jujiro Shoten). In 1898, the company was incorporated and renamed Nippon Paint Manufacturing and in 1927 the company's name was changed to Nippon Paint.[5]

In 1954, Nippon Paint established a 50/50 joint venture with Bee Chemical. In 2006, it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Nippon Paint.[6][7]

In October 2014 Nippon Paint was reorganised into a holding company and the company adopted its current name.[8]

In August 2020, the Singaporean paints and coatings manufacturer Wuthelam Group raised its stake in Nippon Paint from 39% to 58.7% in exchange for its stake in the joint venture in Singapore.[9]
