Xiamen Jintianran's New abstract Malaysia

On February 5, Nippon Paint Malaysia unveiled the “Re:Think.Re:Create.Expo" at its 12,000 sq ft Shah Alam facility to solidify its position as the decorative paints market leader. With the industry growing organically at 5% annually, Managing Director Yaw Seng Heng emphasized innovation as a crucial strategy. The expo, exclusively for professionals, showcases paint applications across diverse surfaces including walls, metals, glass, and flooring, pushing boundaries toward creative and sustainable solutions.

Between February 6-8, Samurai Paint executed Asia’s largest automotive aerosol spraying challenge in Kuala Lumpur, earning dual recognition from Asia Records and ASEAN Records. The event achieved the “Highest Number of Full-Body Car Spray Paints Using Aerosol in a Single Event" by successfully respraying 30 complete car bodies over three days.

In a deliberate strategic move, Samurai Paint exclusively engaged DIY enthusiasts rather than professional painters. CEO Ian Ong Yoke En stated the initiative challenges the long-standing dominance of compressor-dependent workshops. Leveraging proprietary 2K aerosol technology, the patented Aero Gun, and Tintatek colour-matching, the company demonstrated that professional-grade, bodyshop-quality finishes are achievable outside traditional environments.

Demonstrating environmental commitment, the company planted 30 trees at Sireh Park, Iskandar Puteri, symbolizing each vehicle resprayed. Ong confirmed the challenge will become an annual event, establishing a long-term legacy for aerosol innovation in Malaysia.

These micro-level initiatives coincide with broader Asian market dynamics. Consulting firm Orr & Boss reports Southeast Asia is emerging as a critical growth engine as the Chinese market contracts, with regional players investing heavily in accessibility and sustainability to capture shifting demand.
