Tikkurila acquires sales company in the Czech Republic
Until now, Finncolor has acted as one of Tikkurila's importers for decorative paints and industrial coatings in the Czech Republic. In the future, all imports will be channelled through Tikkurila s.r.o.
Tikkurila has made exports of paints and coatings to the Czech Republic since the early 1990s. In 2005, Tikkurila's operations in the Czech paint market had net sales amounting to EUR 3 million, of which Finncolor accounted for approx. EUR 1 million.
This acquisition is aimed at strengthening Tikkurila's position in a strategic core area in Eastern Europe. Tikkurila s.r.o. will have its own sales and marketing organisation and warehouse in Prague. The range will include Tikkurila products made in Finland and Poland.
