2 Top paint officials on working visit

Two top executives of leading paint manufacturers are in the country to learn at first hand, the growth of the Ghana paint market.

The visit of the executives, Mr Deon Nieuwoudt, the Dulux Africa Executive, Dulux South Africa, and Mr Prejay Lalla, Sales & Marketing at AkzoNobel South Africa, will also help them to develop plans for the next half of the year.

Their visit has so far taken them to the Colour Centre, the first and only in the country, as well as the Coral showroom and warehouse.

The General Manager of Coral Paint, Mr Yaw Bonnah Sarpong, told newsmen in Accra that: “The frequent visits of our partners from AkzoNobel this year are allowing us the opportunity to further explore, plan and offer the newest technologies and developments in the paint business.”

The AkzoNobel Group has operations in more than 80 countries and its Dulux brand has been on the worldwide retail market since 1953.

It was introduced to Ghana in 2010 to augment the already existing traditional Coral Paints portfolio.

In Ghana, Togo and Burkina Faso, Coral Paints is the sole representative of AkzoNobel.
