Since 1976, NPP has been the main supplier of a complete Automotive Paint System from CED to topcoat, to the majority of car assemblers including Honda, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Nissan, Isuzu, Columbian Motors, Francisco Motors, Vietnam Motors and Star Motors. Honda Phils., Suzuki and Kawasaki, the top producers of motorcycles, and Norkis, are also our major clients. Our coil coating is used by leading roof manufacturers such as Mindanao Steel, Bacnotan Steel and Puyat Steel.
Our customers for industrial coatings for home appliances are Matsushita, Sanyo and Philacor. To promote and provide better service to the customers for trade use products comprising decorative/architectural, aerosol and Auto Refinish paint, Paint Marketing Co. Phils, Inc. was set up. Depots were set up in Cebu, Cagayan de Oro and Davao to speed up delivery of stock and to serve our customer's needs more efficiently in the Vis-Min area.
The Nax and Nippelac Auto Refinish premixed series is one of the leader in the autofinish market. The 180 premix colours are available widely throughout the country from Baguio to Palawan. Painters are able to obtain colours close to original Colour which are also supplied by Nippon Paint. The protective 2K finish introduced by us has made cars in the Philippines retain their gloss finish longer. When needed by our clients, we not only supply the paint, but also provide painting services. In addition, guarantee for paint failure is also given. The introduction of Jikitone Series Coating (Granite/Ceramic like finish) has revolutionized the Philippine Architectural finish market. More and more architects are switching from the traditional wash-out finish to the high technology Jikitone finish. Owners and developers are replacing real granite with Nippon Paint's Jikitone for their multi-storey condominiums or offices.
The introduction of premium quality exterior paints such as Weatherbond and Nippon 3-In1 has made architects re-write their specifications. Our technical team will provide technical services like checking substrates, recommending paint systems, prevent paint adulteration and providing solutions to paint problems faced by clients.
