JOTUN (PHILIPPINES) INC.
Jotun started business operation in Manila, Philippines through an agent, WMH Rennolds, in 1987. Two years later, Jotun extended its sales office in Cebu, Mandaue as the business expanded into the Visayas region. In the period from 1990 up to 2004 the business development in the Philippines was relatively slow due to lacking focus.
2004 Jotun (Singapore) Pte Ltd saw the escalating needs to service our business partners directly and personally under the Jotun group, we thus set up Philippines Branch Office under the umbrella of Jotun (Singapore). The branch was finally registered on the 17th Dec 2004 and officially operated on the 19th January 2005. Over 4 years of operation, the branch has grown to a 2008 result of more than 650,000 liters. As Jotun saw the responsibility to reciprocate the market with the next service level, we invested.
We began to turn an 85m2 office and 450m2 third party warehouse into our very own premises. The space currently housed a 1,364m2 warehousing storage capacities of min. 700,000 litres of finished goods and a sizable office area of 1,072m2 in two storeys. The move had created much more confidence in our business partners where they could leave the fear of unmet deliveries behind them.
In addition we trained coating advisors to be FROSIO certified and NACE certified. These had elevated our level and edge of competitiveness as the market grows to be more challenging and demanding.
These moves had greatly command respect and trust by our business partners and recognizing Jotun as their preferred choice.
