Tikkurila’s operations are divided into two busi- ness areas. Tikkurila Deco, which accounts for 81% of revenues, sells decorative paints to consumers and professionals in more than 5,000 retail
sales outlets in more than 40 countries, while Tikkurila
Industrial Coatings, which accounts for 19% of revenues, provides coating solutions to customers in the
wood and metal industries.
Tikkurila is the leading regional paints and coatings company in Finland, Sweden and Russia. In July 2008, the sales
company Tikkurila JUB Romania began operating and in
August it set up a sales company in Belarus. In December
2008, Tikkurila acquired a flagship store for the Alcro brand
in Stockholm and acquired the sales company Finncolor
Slovakia s.r.o. During the beginning of 2009, a new logistics
and service center was completed near Moscow. ;
With an eye to expanding its share of the North American coatings market, Benjamin Moore pur- chased select assets and brands of Insl-x Products
Corporation, a coatings manufacturer based in Stony Point,
NY. The acquisition provides Benjamin Moore with several
strong brands and a breadth of coatings products, including
Insl-x, Coronado, Bruning, Trinity Lacquers and Lenmar.
Benjamin Moore also recently launched Natura, a
zero-VOC premium interior paint. It is available in thousands of hues and a wide range of sheens, according to the
company. The VOC level of Natura is unaffected by the addition of colorant because the paint is based on Benjamin
Moore’s patented waterborne colorant system. In fact,
Natura is available in all of Benjamin Moore’s nearly 3,500
colors. The Natura range includes a primer plus three
sheens—flat, eggshell and semi-gloss. ;
