For the fourth consecutive year, the Pigments & Additives Division of Clariant, a world-leading manufacturer of specialty chemicals, has received several important supplier awards in Brazil. In May, at the 12th Annual Paint and Pintura Awards, Clariant was selected among the ten leading suppliers as “Best supplier of the year for organic pigments” and “Best supplier of the year for pigments dispersions”, both awards in the segment of coating and special and publication inks. Clariant also won the “Master Company” award, which is the result of an independent survey among 70 companies in Brazil. The Paint and Pintura Award was created 12 years ago, and Clariant has received awards in 11 editions.
This is the fourth consecutive year that Clariant Brazil is receiving this important recognition. The awards, which are sponsored by one of the leading trade magazines, Paint & Pintura, are among the most important awards in Brazil for coatings.
“This is again excellent news,” says Okke Koo, head of the Pigments & Additives Division, “as it shows our being recognized directly by the market. In these times of increasing competition and overall cost-cuttings, maintaining standards cannot be taken for granted. It is very satisfying for us to be awarded as a top supplier in the region for four consecutive years, and it shows that we are on the right track.”
