以前にご紹介した香港政府が管理するハウジング物件ですが、新たに彩興路の物件が関西ペイント社の材料で決定しました。

この物件は香港の老舗ゼネコンSFK（新福港）が建てる新築物件ですが、合計4ブロックで総面積は30万㎡程度になります。現在ファンデーションが立ち上がってきていますので、スムースに進めば9月頃に塗装が始まります。

この物件も他社の安売り攻勢を跳ね除け、価格では少々高めの関西ペイントが採用になりましたが、それはこれまでの物件で、我々が真摯に物件をフォローしたことが認められたものと感じております。

実際に、ハウジングに関わる既存供給会社の劣悪な材料に業を煮やしたハウジングのトップが新聞発表で、7月1日以降を以って全てのハウジングの材料に関して、これまでの現場抜き打ち試験のみならず、製造場所（つまり生産工場）まで役人を派遣して抜き取り試験を行うと宣言しましたが、関西ペイントにとりましては正に追い風と言える政府の方針転換です。

日本でも企業倫理が問われるようになって久しいですが、ここ香港でも本物が求められる環境になったことは、我々の地道な取り組みが結実している証左と言える現象かもしれません。

We have just gotten information on yet another new housing project, which Kansai Paint products have been confirmed! We will be supplying materials for a Home Ownership Scheme Development at Choi Hing Road.

The main contractor of this project is Sun Fook Kong (SFK), who has an impressive and longstanding portfolio in the Hong Kong building industry. The scale of this project is approximately 300,000 sqm among four blocks of 27-storey residential buildings. Choi Hing Road development is currently at its foundation stage. If all goes well according to schedule, coating work will begin this September.

We have been awarded with this project after keen competition, especially when dumping strategies might have been employed by other competitors. Kansai Paint has still been chosen at the end, despite the predatory pricing offered by others. For that we feel deeply honored, as our quality and reputation have been affirmed over the recent housing projects we have accomplished.

The media has recently published that Housing Authority (HA), appointed by Hong Kong government, will further enhance the quality control system for paint and coatings. Starting from 1st of July, CEO of HA announced that HA will send officers, sometimes even overseas, to factories in order to examine the quality of products and the comprehensiveness of the quality management system. HA will perform material testing to see if the products each manufacturer produces is adequate. This will definitely help identify and expel the manufacturers whose products are poor or fake, restoring the market into its normal and healthy state.

As we all know, Japanese has a very strict standard for corporate ethics, and we, Kansai Paint, now need to sincerely convey these company spirits to the market in order to establish and retain our reputation in the industry. We feel a strong urge to prove to the Hong Kong market that our product is genuine and therefore trustworthy!
