Nippon Paint

In 1962, Mr. Wu Qingliang, whose ancestral home was Chaozhou, founded Nipsea Group in Singapore, which has now become the world's fourth-largest paint manufacturer and service provider, owning about 30 brands with business worldwide. In 1990, China and Singapore formally established diplomatic relations, and in the same year, Nipsea Group began planning to enter China. In 1992, Nipsea Group registered its first company in China, becoming one of the earliest multinational enterprises to enter China. The name "Nippon Paint" was given by Mr. Wu Qingliang, embodying the beautiful meaning of "establishing diplomatic relations." Nippon Paint China's headquarters is located in Shanghai, with over 70 production bases invested and built in China, employing nearly 11,000 people.

With the corporate mission of "Refreshing Beautiful Living Spaces," Nippon Paint has been committed to providing high-quality innovative products and services to meet the rapid development of China's industry and cities, as well as people's needs for a better life.
