Independent surface coatings group H Marcel Guest, which includes Manchester paint manufacturer HMG Paints in its international portfolio of companies, has acquired a controlling interest in its South East distributor.
As a result, HMG Coatings (London), which is based in Rainham, Essex, has received a substantial injection of capital, enabling it to compete still more effectively in the region's high performance coatings sector.
Long-tem Managing Director, Joe Osborn, retains his current position and welcomes the group's increased involvement; a new senior sales appointment will also be announced shortly.
"We decided to invest to invest in HMG London, in order to build upon the success already achieved and develop our brand share in the South East," says H Marcel Guest board director, Stephen Falde "We are also actively demonstrating our commitment to trade customers in the region, at a time when others are cutting back on services and distribution."
Operating from a 5000 sq ft unit on the Coldharbour industrial estate, strategically close to the M25, M11 and M2 motorways, HMG Coatings (London) has been an HMG distributor for over 10 years. It carries the full range of liquid and powder coatings, supplying the industrial, automotive, construction, civil engineering, furniture and other industries.
To enable trade specifiers and users to be supplied with a complete range of HMG products off-the-shelf, the company holds in-depth paint stocks, valued in excess of £150k, while a sophisticated mixing and formulation system allows it to match virtually any colour requirement and coating specification, with no minimum order requirement.
Distribution is throughout London, Essex, Kent, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, typically with next-day delivery.
