It is important that this is a signal.” According to his analysis, in the increasingly fierce market competition, there will certainly be a batch of coating companies. Clean up. "The most critical thing now is to carry out technological innovation and brand building." According to him, at present, domestic paint companies are basically behind the international big brands and carry out production through plagiarism. "Innovation requires investment in the development of new technologies that will make coatings products sufficiently competitive in terms of their useful life, safety and performance."
