INTRODUCTION:

In an ever increasing changing industrial environment in Ireland and across Europe, companies like ours are seeking to search markets that offer us products that have an extra edge in quality, innovation, reliability, flexibility and are future looking. We believe that we have gained that combination two-fold; firstly with our recently signed-off partnership with Jotun Paints Europe and secondly, and also very importantly, with an announcement of a new and exclusive alliance with industrial paint giant Teknos Paints Europe.

He continues, “We see Complete Coating Services as an ideal partner with their fast and flexible approach to new coating technologies and of their close working relationship with their customers”.



STRENGTHS AND VALUE:

Unlike other paint manufacturers in the market Teknos offers, through Complete Coatings, our customer’s access to an automatic tinting system which will delay anytime time lags interfering with the chain of production thus ensuring quality and throughput are never interfered with, this is especially relevant for exporting manufacturing companies.

FINALLY:

This partnership is based on discussions with a long term business view of the coatings market in Ireland. Teknos have emphasised, and Complete Coating Services agree, that a strong strategic partner is essential for long term security and stability of supply. Both of us maintain a positive outlook on Ireland’s business recovery within the next few short years. Planning now ensures that we will work closely with our customers to bring added value and price stability as they look and plan for the future with confidence. We welcome our Finnish partners into the Irish market and look forward to a vibrant and forward looking input from them into the market here in Ireland.
