Berger Paints Nigeria Plc, a leading paints and allied
products manufacturer, has opened a new Colour World Centre in Lekki, Lagos in
a bid save its customers the stress of coming to the mainland to meet their
products requirements. Mr. Tor Nygard, Managing Director of the company said
the new centre would enhance accessibility, visibility and availability of its
products to its customers living in the Lekki axis of Lagos. Nygard said the
centre would also serve as a channel for distributing the whole range of
Berger’s products as well as produce variety of colors to customers’
specifications with its tinting machine facility, remarking that, “It is a ‘one
stop shop’ for all painting needs.
The managing director said also available at the Lekki
Colour World Centre are Berger’s well-known brands such as Luxol, Clinstay,
Super Star, Classic among others which continued to enjoy extreme popularity
across Nigeria.
Chairman of the company, Mr. Clement Olowokande, said the
Lekki Colour World, was the first to be commissioned by the company after it
turned 55 years in Nigeria on January 9, 2014, adding that the company was
built to last forever.
He advised existing
and potential customers of the company not to use inferior paint products to
paint their buildings, because less quality products affect the walls of the
building and it is more expensive to correct in the long run.
Mr. Olowokande said Berger Paints would soon become the
first paint company in West Africa to automate its factory, remarking that the
company wants to arrive in the future ahead of competition.
The company has embarked on the full automation project
following the successful outcome of its recent rights issue, which was
oversubscribed despite investors’ apathy in the Nigerian capital market.
The chairman enjoined customers to associate with the
company because it is known for quality and value.
The centre was endorsed by Dr. Donald Obaseki, Managing
Director of Guaranty Structure Properties and Mrs. Sonia Mmamelu, who
represented the managing director of Zenith Bank Plc among others.
Obaseki also enjoined customers to patronize Berger Paints
because of the high quality of its products, adding that the company is not new
to many Nigerians but they know it when they were growing up.
The event was graced by notable personalities among who are,
Dr. Oladimeji Alo, a non- executive director of Berger Paints, Mr. Jatin Madan,
Chief Operating Officer of Berger Paints, Barrister Isimeme Iluogbe,
Commissioner of Works, Edo State, Dr. Afolarin Pgunbanjo, Group Managing
Director, Cassus Group and Barrister Banji Alabi, Executive Director, Chevron
among others.
