(Azelis) -- Specialty chemicals
distributor Azelis is expanding its operations in Russia into the coatings
market. Alexander Serbin has been appointed as sales manager dedicated to grow
sales in this important market, which is estimated to be worth in the region of
1.2 million tons of paint.
International Business Director for Coatings, Michel Dumusois said: “We
are building on our established strengths in the coatings market in Western and
Eastern Europe, where we have seen annual growth in sales exceeding 10% in
recent years, to open up new countries like Russia for coatings.
“We will utilise our International logistics infrastructure offering
flexibility of shipment size from regularly audited facilities. This, together
with local warehousing, our stringent SHEQ standards and full REACH compliance,
plus dedicated local commercial support, means that Principals can be confident
in the ability of Azelis to offer effective penetration of the attractive growth
market for coatings in Russia.”
Azelis has had a presence in Russia since April 2008 when an office was
opened in Moscow with local warehousing facilities nearby. Later, the local
presence has been extended to St Petersburg and Novosibirsk to service customers
spread throughout this vast country. Operations in Russia are headed up by
Regional Managing Director, Igor Loginov.
