Paint manufacturers in Nigeria are stepping up efforts to secure more affordable raw materials by forging regional partnerships and exploring alternative sourcing strategies.
This renewed push comes as industry players gather for the West Africa Coatings Show, which opened today in Lagos. The three-day exhibition is organised by dmg events in collaboration with the Paint Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (PMA).
The show is expected to provide a vital platform for local manufacturers to connect with global suppliers, discover alternative inputs, and hold technical and commercial dialogues that can reduce production costs in the face of rising operational expenses.
Chairman of PMA, Abimbolu Babatunde, stressed the strategic importance of the event, saying:
“It marks an important milestone in our continued efforts to introduce our members to new solutions, raw materials and global best practices. Our collaboration with dmg events has been both strategic and timely, and we are confident that this platform will serve as a catalyst for growth, innovation and knowledge exchange across the coatings industry in West Africa.”
The coatings industry, a vital component of Nigeria’s manufacturing sector, continues to seek resilience and sustainability through innovation and improved supply chain solutions.
