Flint Group Pigments, a global manufacturer of colourants and other products, has signed an agreement with Connell Bros for distribution of Flint's colourants and additives in the Asia and Pacific region.

Flint commented that the partnership increases Flint Group Pigments' reach in that region and offers an entirely new line of products for Connell to provide its customers.

Asia and Pacific region colourant consumers now have access to Flint Group Pigments' portfolio of dry and flushed pigment, aqueous dispersions and additives.

The products serve many specialised markets, including printing inks, coatings, plastics, latex, paper, textiles, rubber and fertiliser, said the company.

Craig Foster, president of Flint Group Pigments, said: "Connell Bros was the obvious distribution choice for us in Asia and Pacific.

Its regional experience, market knowledge and well-developed infrastructure are unparalleled.

Just as important, the high calibre of local sales and service personnel ensures that our customers will receive the same level of convenient, personalised care in the region as elsewhere in the world." Ted Eliot, president of Connell Bros, added: "Flint Group Pigments is a great fit for Connell Bros.

While we've provided raw materials to the Asia and Pacific market for some time now, Flint Group Pigments' colourants are an entirely new product category we can offer.

Because we know and trust Flint Group Pigments' products quality and consistency, we are eager to represent them in the market." Connell Bros is a speciality chemical distributor in Asia and a division of the Wilbur-Ellis Company of San Francisco (USA).

It will distribute Flint Group Pigments' products throughout Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
