2005 is the 25th Anniversary of the Terraco Group and it is with great pride I look back on the company’s progress over these past two and a half decades. Growth during these years has been substantial and the Group currently comprises 14 factories and over 600 employees worldwide.
In the coming year Terraco will consolidate and rejuvenate – the company will move production in Jordan, Guangdong (South China) and UAE to new-purpose built facilities ensuring we are well-positioned to provide our customers with the latest developments in the coating industry. Additionally our new facility in Shanghai (East China) will come online during the first quarter of 2005. This will not only substantially increase our Chinese production capacity but will also ensure that we will be able to better service our customers in the eastern Chinese market. Inline with the Group’s expansion plans we will continue to invest in new emerging markets and plan to have an additional 4 production facilities operational within the next 24 months.
Developments on the product side include the launch of of the EcoLife™ products, our ultra-ecological range, strengthening our position as the leading producer of environmentally friendly finishing materials.
In recent years many fast developing countries are seeing the need for and are embracing the concept of industrial standards. It is very gratifying for me to see Terraco being invited to propose parameters for such quality standards in countries in which we operate. It is our firm belief that proper industrial standards benefit everyone – architects, contractors, clients, property owners, future tenants as well as builders and material producers – helping to ensure that customers are getting the right products whilst preventing the undermining of quality by actors propagating sub-standard products. Terraco aims to offer quality, durability and unbeatable long-term value.
The continuing success of the Group is a testament
