Sapma Membership Grows As Support Spreads North
Membership of the SA Paint Manufacturing Association is still steadily growing as more and more members of the coatings industry – including sub-Saharan based producers - realise the benefits of joining.
Among the companies who have recently joined is a Nigerian-based producer, Paint & Coatings Manufacturers, which produces both decorative and industrial coatings. It is SAPMA’s first Nigerian member and indicative of the Association’s growing stature in Africa. Neo Paints in Namibia has been a SAPMA member for more than 20 years, and Sofap in Mauritius, and Star Paints in Swaziland, are also members.
Deryck Spence, executive director of SAPMA, says applications for SAPMA membership from outside South Africa is becoming common practice as African countries – aware of the major Coatings for Africa 2015 trade show and conference in Johannesburg next year – are keen to benefit from the favourable Rand-Dollar exchange range and so wish to source raw material from SA instead of Europe.
“Like Mauritius, which is taking advantage of the training expertise of SAPMA’s technical programmes, African coatings producers are keen to boost the skills of their workforces by utilising the SAPMA training,” Spence added.
New South African manufacturers who have joined the SAPMA fold are Faamz Paints of Amsterdam (near the SA-Swaziland border), which produces decorative and industrial coatings; and Protective Coatings of Pretoria, a decorative coating manufacturer.
African Colour Systems of Zimbali, KZN, is a new SAPMA Associate Supplier. The company supplies quality control equipment specific to colour control.
Two new paint contractor members are Chregolle Trading of Johannesburg, and Dynamic Spray & Coatings of Pietermaritzburg.
