PROTECTIVE AND MARINE COATINGS BUSINESS CHANGES HANDS
The sale of Dulux (Pty) Limited's Protective and Marine coatings business (PCM) to Sigma Coatings (Pty) Limited has been concluded.
Dulux is wholly-owned by AECI Limited and Sigma Coatings is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the worldwide SigmaKalon Group. The latter, which operates in 40 countries and has leading positions in major European markets, owns the technology and Sigma brand that Dulux has used under licence to develop the southern African PCM sector of its business over the last 10 years.
In terms of the agreement reached, Dulux will continue to manufacture branded products on Sigma's behalf for the next two years on a toll basis. This will minimise disruption not only for customers but also for both the companies.
The sale takes effect on 1 October 2001, at which time Dulux's employees in the PCM business will transfer to Sigma Coatings. Ends. Enquiries: Douglas Taylor
