HOUSTON – International Paint, an AkzoNobel company and leading provider of high-performance protective coatings, linings and fire protection products, has entered into a strategic distribution agreement through its Mexican affiliate, Compania Mexicana de Pinturas International SA de CV, Sayer Lack Mexicana SA de CV. As a result, Sayer Lack will supply International Paint’s Marine and Protective Coatings products in Mexico.
