International Paint LLC Opens Pittsburgh Distribution Center


HOUSTON - October 23, 2006 -- International Paint LLC, an Akzo Nobel company, and one of the world's leading providers of high-performance coatings, has opened a new Distribution Center to serve their customers throughout Pittsburgh and surrounding Tri-State region.

The new 8,500 square-foot facility will offer a full range of high-performance protective and specialty coatings to their growing clientele in the industrial, aviation, OEM, mining, energy and metal fabrication markets.

"Opening the Pittsburgh Distribution Center not only gives us closer proximity to our customers," said Dave Revay, International Paint's Sales Zone Manager, "but also allows us to provide more focused service, including the ability to deliver products within as little as 24 hours of receiving an order."

International Paint's decision to open the new facility is the first step of a larger, long-term effort to expand distribution of their high-performance protective coatings throughout the Northeast.

According to the facility's Warehouse Supervisor, Scott Harriger, the distribution center will feature state-of-the-art technology including two automated tinting machines that accommodate both solvent and water-based coatings, in order to ensure that International Paint's full range of top-quality industrial coatings are immediately available upon ordering.

The Pittsburgh Distribution Center is located in the Pittsburgh Airport Business Park at Building One, Suite 14, 181 Spring Run Road Exit, Coraopolis, PA, 15108.
