The Nova Paint Club was formed in 1983 by a number of progressive, well established paint companies from around the world, wishing to compete more effectively against major multi-national paint companies. By exchanging and pooling their individual resources, expertise and technology they sought to provide their customers with cost effective, technically superior products and an optimum level of support.
This unique and visionary concept has been an unprecedented success:- each member's operation has been strengthened through free and wide ranging technical interchange,
and the initiation of technology transfers and joint projects in areas as diverse as colour mixing schemes, software for production planning, raw material purchasing and quality systems.
The Nova partnership is a major player in the world paint market. The combined power of the members enables them to win the confidence of global companies, who value the expertise and cost effectiveness provided by the Nova concept.
