A BOLTON paints company has secured an important new distributorship.

Carltonian Classic Finishes in Carlton Street can now distribute high performance coatings manufactured by Rust-Oleum Mathys.

Mr Bob Taylor, Sales Director for Carltonian, said today that the range was predominantly aimed at the construction and factory maintenance sectors.

"While both solvent-based and water-based systems are available, the emphasis, bearing in mind increasingly important environmental issues, is on the latter," he said.

Rust-Oleum Mathys, which has large manufacturing plants in the the Netherlands and Belgium, has more than 75 years of experience in industrial coatings protection and a significant presence in the UK.

Carlton intends to promote and recommend Rust-Oleum Mathys products in conjunction with its own range of industrial coatings.
