K.K. - Open for Business

After more than 25 years of indirect involvement in Japan, International

Paint has now formally joined the

Japanese marine community.

At an inauguration ceremony held in

Tokyo. David French, Sub-Business

Unit Manager for Japan, Australasia and

Korea, announced that International

Paint Japan has commenced full busi- ness operations.

The ceremony was attended by guests from the Japanese marine community and included representatives from NYK,

MOL, K-Line, MES, MHI, KHI, IHI

Marine United. Universal Shipbuilding,

Idemitsu Tanker and Evergreen.

Speaking at the ceremony. French said, "Our commitment is to provide the level and quality of service which Japanese and worldwide marine customers have come to expect both locally and global- ly. Our aim is to fully understand indi- vidual customer requirements by work- ing in close partnership with ship- builders and ship operators to fulfill our global policy of providing customer focused solutions".

The latest addition to the International

Paint family - the world's largest suppli- er of Marine and Protective Coatings -

International Paint Japan K.K. was established as a legal entity on April 5, 2004, and currently has 23 employees.

Six people service Japanese ship owners and operators from the Tokyo Office, which also manages all Protective

Coating engineering sales. Twelve peo- ple are based in the Head Office in Kobe which houses the newbuilding sales team, the customer order service facility and administration personnel. A team of experienced regional technical service representatives will provide a high level of technical support anywhere in Japan and expanding this team will be a busi- ness priority during the first year of operation. "From today we are ready to supply

International Paint's full range of new- building, drydocking and seastores products and services to both local cus- tomers and foreign flag vessels", said

David. "All products will be supplied from our central warehouse near Kobe or from regional depots if required. In addition to servicing newbuilding and repair yards direct, delivery of seastores products to owners' vessels can be made to 82 locations throughout Japan, 63 of which will receive deliveries within 48 hours."
