Jean Claude Nkolo Lunand is the first entrepreneur of the Nkolo family who founded Peintolux. Mr. Nkolo was born on March 15, 1942, to Mr. Nkolo Moukouangua and Mrs. Toba in the village of Vindarene, Guissir and Fang in Gabon Central Africa. Jean Claude Nkolo Lunand attended school in mission Sainte Anne in Fernan Vaz until the 8th grade. After he finished school, Jean Claude moved to Port Gentil the capital of Gabon and trained himself to repair radios and televisions. For many years he worked as an electronic technician, gaining more customers which allowed him to open his own business.
Eventually, Jean Claude attended school to become an aviation fire fighter and after graduation, he worked for Laspaf as a fire fighter which is an oil company, in Port Gentil Gabon. Later he worked for Accena, an aviation company, where he became Chief firefighter and trained new employees in his department. While working for Accena, Jean Claude started a general contracting company that attracted many businesses such as SNGB Timber. Jean Claude hired Jackey Cadre, a French National, as Director of Operations to assist him in building relations with other companies. While working at SOCABA, Jackey secured a contract for Peintolux to construct a building for SOCABA which is a national construction company located in the capital Libreville, Gabon Africa. The two men continued to work together and developed Peintolux as a well-known general contracting service. On May 2, 2001, Jackey Cadre died suddenly which was very unexpected and a sad time for Jean Claude. Despite his grief, Jean Claude created a successful company known throughout Port Gentil and Liberville Gabon. Jean Claude’s life ended in 2004 and there was no successor in his family that continued the legacy of his company.
Almost a decade later, Jean Claude’s 4th son Claude Lunand Nkolo had an idea to develop a construction company just like his father. Claude Lunand had little resources, but with determination and motivation he opened Peintulux Multiservices in Libreville Gabon, 2012. Six months later he decided to relocate Peintulux Multiservices to Port Gentil Gabon, which provided a better opportunity for general contracting services with multiple oil companies. The company’s name was later changed in 2015 to Peintolux Multiservices LLC in efforts to maintain his father’s legacy. Peintolux Multiservices partnered with multiple oil companies, providing general contracting services, and creating job opportunities for the Gabonese people. Peintolux Multiservices has over 10 years of experience in the construction industry and has earned a reputation of becoming a leader in general contracting for the future. Claude Lunand is grateful for his father’s hard work and example he showed his family. Claude encourages young people of the future to embrace your family’s ideas and together you can achieve more for the next generation.
