The BARPIMO Group goes one step further in its internationalisation project and opens new markets in South-eastern Europe. The company has closed a collaboration and distribution agreement with MILLOCOLOR for Albania and Kosovo.

The company, based in Nájera, is carrying out an ambitious international expansion plan, which has enabled it to be present in 15 countries. The objective is to continue to penetrate more markets, with the help of its products destined to the wood and metal industry.

MILLOCOLOR is a company located in Tirana, devoted to the distribution of paints and equipment. It is a highly recognised distributor in Albania. With more than 20 years of experience in the world of the paints distribution, it is the official distributor in the country for DUPONT and STANDOX, two reference brands in the automotive painting sector, as well as distributor for other reference brands.

The first lorry with 22,000 kilos of BARPIMO products arrived last April. In May, a technical and commercial team from Barpimo, including the Wood Line Technical Director, Mr. David Mínguez, and the International Business Director, Mr. Miguel Bujarrabal travelled to Albania to carry out distributor training and support actions so as to ensure the service and quality around the BARPIMO product.

Barpimo, a family business, manufacturer of varnishes and paints for more than 50 years, keeps an ongoing commitment with investments in R&D+i projects. Its laboratories are equipped with the latest innovations and state-of-the-art technology, and has a team of professionals who reproduce all kinds of varnishing conditions and painting systems to meet the needs of the most demanding clients. With this new opening in Albania and Kosovo, Barpimo strengthens its international presence and expects to meet its growth forecast, reaching 37.5 million euros turnover in 2017, of which 30% would correspond to sales abroad.
