Nippon Paint draws a rosy future

Manufacturer to establish plant in western China to maintain growth momentum

Nipsea Group, the largest paints and coatings manufacturer in Asia by sales revenue, will set up a new plant in western China and automate production at most of its 41 factories across the country in the long-run to maintain robust growth, said a top company official.

Eric Chung, president of Nippon Paint China - the local branch of Singapore-based Nipsea Group - said though the company currently has a plant in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, it will build another one in Qionglai in the same province, to meet the growing demand for furniture paints in western China.
