香港市場の魅力のひとつは、なんといっても超大型改修物件、特に民間での色々な材料を用いての超大型改修物件では、日本でもなかなか見られないものです。

また民間は政府物件と異なり、状況や部位に応じて色々な塗装仕様のご提案をすることが出来ます。例えばフッ素やシリコンなどの高耐久性塗料や、遮熱塗料、多彩模様やシート型建材などなど、営業のセンスと能力とが試される市場でもあります。そして特に改修工事では下地と新規塗装仕様との相関性など、注意すべき点は多々あります。

当然ながらこれらの超大型改修物件は直ぐに決定するものではなく、通常2-3年、長い時には10年近くの時間を掛けて決定にこぎつけるものです。また数年間休眠状態にあった超大型物件の改修工事が、景気の動向などとも相まって突然活性化することもあり、営業としましては定期的に関係者と情報を交換する必要もあります。

設計・コンサルをはじめ、住民の方々も参加する会議で決定される材料は、価格、品質、サービスと、あらゆる面で他社をしのぐものでなければなりません。特に品質やサービスに関しましては関西ペイントは日本の会社ということもあって、決して他社に負けるわけには参りません。カラーデザイン、現場試験施工、現場の定期的なチェックがそれぞれ高いレベルで行われます。

そうして完成した物件を眺めることは塗料マンとしての最大の喜びのひとつであり、自分たちの製品が社会に貢献していることを再認識する機会でもあります。

One of the attractive points to run projects in the private market of Hong Kong is the project size. In general, projects having the size of a couple thousand to 10,000 square meters is rather common in Hong Kong. Sometimes, the numbers may go even bigger than that! With these projects at hand, we have got many opportunities to specify our unique products for each different application area. For instance, while it has been confirmed to use an ordinary paint such as polyurethane, silicone, or fluorine for the external walls at the project site, the façade, elevator halls and entrances could still get a little playful touch for the décor, giving extra attention to details. For such case, our special decorative coating systems would come in super handy, e.g. texture, heat-insulation paint, prefabricated sheet-type material, etc. This inspires our sales staffs to promote outstanding products rather than the conventional kind of paint. Involving in the design process for mixing and matching diverse materials has also sparked their motivation.

It is normal for projects of such large scale to undergo several phases of planning, which may take two to three years and sometimes even nearly a decade before its actual commencement. Therefore, our persons-in-charge have to constantly keep themselves in touch and updated regarding the status of each project, albeit some might have become dormant.
