COMMENT

 

Jotun  Thailand  Limited  was  established  40  years  ago  as  the  first  international  paint  company  to  invest  in  Thailand  as  a  BIO  promoted  project.

 

Jotun  in  Thailand  has  been  very  successful  and  well  positioned  in  both   paint  and  powder  industries  in  Thailand  due  to  the  fact   that  it  has  invested comprehensive  in  improving  local  competence.

 

The  new  state-of-the-art  manufacturing  unit  is  the  largest  single  investment  of  Jotun  worldwide,  and  the  factory  is  one  of the  most  modern  and  sophisticated  paint  and  powder  factories  in  the  world.

 

For    its   investments,  Jotun  in  1998  was  awarded  as  the first  paint  factory  in  Thailand-the  ISO  9002  certificate  for  quality  and  the  ISO 14001  certificate  for  environment  performance.   However,  Jotun paint is holding around 40% in economic segment, while in the high-end paint market worth 1.4 billion baht, where the UK-based ICI Paints (Thailand) holds a 50% share.

 

Paints products are expected to grow consistently over the next few years from both construction  sector and other industries like automobile and electric appliances.
