Following the promulgation of the first and second indigenisation Decrees in 1972 and 1977, ICI Nigeria Limited at first sold 40 percent and later 60 percent of its share capital to the Nigerian public, and went further to change its name by a special resolution of the shareholders to Chemical and Allied Products Limited (CAPL) in the spirit of indigenization. In 1991, the ‘Limited’ appellation was dropped for ‘Plc’ in compliance with the provision of the Companies and Allied Matters Act of 1990.

In 1992, ICI Nigeria Limited finally disposed of its minority 40% shareholding in CAP Plc when it sold 35.7% of the equity to UAC of Nigeria Plc and the rest to the Nigerian public on the floor of the Nigeria Stock Exchange. Currently, UAC of Nigeria Plc holds about 57.85% of the equity.

In November 2013, the company was awarded the ISO 14001:2004 certification on Environmental Management system (EMS).

In July 2021, CAP Plc successfully completed a merger with Portland Paints and Products Nigeria Plc., another leading paints company with decades of experience in manufacturing, distributing and marketing a wide array of Decorative, Automotive and industrial Paints and Marine and Protective Coatings that support the building, construction and Oil and Gas industry in Nigeria.
