Sigma Paints, one of the region's leading quality paint manufacturers, recently opened a dedicated service centre in Kuwait.

The state-of-the-art Sigma Service Centre in the Shuwaikh industrial area was opened by Sigma along with its sole distributor in the emirate, Building Systems Corporation. VIPs, businessmen and decision-makers from the local construction industry were present at the event.

"As a manufacturer of high-quality paints, Sigma is very keen to consolidate its commitment to the Kuwaiti market with this opening due to the demand for Sigma's wide range of high-quality products, notes Fred Aalbers, Sigma Paints marketing manager. ''At Sigma Paints we are renowned for the fact that our service centres offer customers complete solutions from A to Z. We are happy to now offer this also to the Kuwaiti marketplace.''

He continues: ''The new Sigma Service Centre provides information and advice on products, colours and application. Our experts are always on hand to answer any customer enquiry."

For many years, Building Systems Corporation has been responsible for the marketing of the Sigma Paints product range in Kuwait.

"We are delighted to be associated with an internationally recognised name like Sigma Paints,'' comments Building Systems Corporation manager Hamed Al-Homoud Al-Ajlan. ''Sigma is the leading company in the development, production and marketing of decorative paints, protective coatings and marine coatings in the Middle East. The Sigma brand is famous in Kuwait for its textured paint, SigmaRiver, but the total range consists of more than 100 products in over 10,000 colours.''

''At the inauguration, we also introduced Sigma's latest addition to its range, Sigmulto Pharos. Many invitees were impressed with Pharos because application of this product results in a natural marble-type effect."

Established in 1980, with its own production, storage, research and development facilities in the Gulf, Sigma Paints offers Middle East customers highest quality paints with paint and application solutions.

Sigma's expertise is inherited from its association with Sigma Coatings Holland that was founded in 1722, effectively giving it more than 275 years of experience.
