As part of Nippon Paint’s initiative to ensure a safe and healthy living environment for all, we launched this yearly campaign in 2019 to educate the importance of indoor wellness to kids.

Collaborating with schools and children’s education centres across the Klang Valley, Johor, Penang, Sarawak and more, this program was carried out in with the help of Parenthood Magazine. Parenthood representatives approach these preschools and use Nippon Paint’s storybook to educate the kids in a fun and engaging way during a “Wellness Playdate”. The storybook includes colouring sheets for the kids to display their creativity and reinforce what they have learnt during the Playdate. The 2 best artworks are chosen from two age groups (3-4 years old, 5-6 years old), and the winner’s school would receive a makeover from Nippon Paint as their prize.

Qualitative Impact:

  • Increased awareness of personal hygiene and indoor air wellness, leading to healthier habits at an early age.
  • Greater engagement and enthusiasm for learning through interactive, child-friendly activities.
  • Empowered children to contribute to family health practices, and build a conducive, healthy, and happy home.
  • Reaching out to schools to be more proactive in promoting student well-being.

Unlocking potential and addressing gaps in the construction landscape: An integrated one-stop solution

Attributed to Tay Sze Tuck, General Manager of Nippon Paint Malaysia

The construction sector holds a significant position in Malaysia’s economy, serving as a major employer and a significant driver of economic expansion. Estimated at RM 181 billion in 2024, with a projected CAGR of 8.55% from 2024 to 2029, the industry presents promising avenues for growth. 

Government initiatives aimed at advancing key infrastructure projects, such as airports, railways, and ports, are geared towards improving accessibility and connectivity. Public investments are expected to rise by +3.9% annually, averaging RM83 billion per year. 

Additionally, plans to boost the economy’s productive capacity through ventures like high-tech industrial estates and industrial park expansions across diverse regions further bolster the growth trajectory within the construction sector. Nevertheless, challenges in the sector such as fragmented supply chains, lack of standardization, and budget constraints still loom, and these issues lead to coordination difficulties, quality inconsistencies, and delays in project completion.

In anticipation of these industry developments, Nippon Paint Malaysia is strategically positioned to cater to the evolving needs of the construction sector through our Total Coating and Construction Solutions (TCCS), unified in strength by partnerships with Selleys, Vital Technical Sdn. Bhd. (V-tech), and CMI Construction Material Industry Sdn. Bhd. (CMI), key local players in the industry.

Driving efficiency through streamlined supply chain

As the adage goes, ‘the whole is greater than the sum of its parts’, we understand the importance of a cohesive approach in the construction sector. By offering a comprehensive range of expertise and materials from bare to finish, such as drymix solutions, sealant, adhesive and filler (SAF) solutions, waterproofing solutions, flooring solutions, protective coatings, and architectural coatings, we optimize the supply chain. This ensures efficiency, punctuality, and minimal disruptions in construction schedules. 

TCCS further caters to various types of projects, including residential, industrial, and commercial developments. This diversity not only showcases our versatility but also underscores our adaptability to different market segments. With a track record of success across these varied project types, Nippon Paint’s TCCS has a promising future, poised to continue delivering exceptional results and meeting the evolving needs of our clients in every sector.

Additionally, our collaborations with partners are characterized by synergy. While each of our partners operates independently, we merge experiences, technologies, resources, and values for the mutual benefit of all stakeholders. This integrated approach acts as the conductor, harmonizing the efforts of diverse stakeholders within the construction landscape – from all sizes, developers to local general contractors. Beyond mere facilitation, it fosters seamless communication and coordinates efforts throughout the construction process, thereby ensuring our solutions remain agile and effective.“`

Compatible systems in line with construction trends and needs

While innovation remains crucial, ensuring compatibility with the Industrialized Building Systems (IBS) segment is imperative in Construction 4.0, aligned with Malaysia’s emphasis on prefabricated structures in the 12th Malaysia Plan (12-MP). Nippon Paint’s TCCS is created to seamlessly integrate with every construction stage, embracing IBS methodologies for a unified approach.

As we enter the second stage of TCCS expansion, our focus remains on understanding evolving construction trends and needs. Prioritizing safety and compliance standards in industrial environments, we best align solutions to offer peace of mind for businesses alike. We further enhance wall aesthetics and durability, addressing structural concerns like cracks with expertise. Solutions such as our drymix, tailored for IBS joints, ensure on-site precision. Additionally, our waterproofing solutions provide long-lasting defence against water damage. Combined with our dependable flooring solutions and fire-retardant sealants, industrial buildings, and structure gain extra protection against hazards.

Expanding our services into diverse markets such as Oil and Gas, infrastructure, power, and original equipment manufacturing (OEM), we provide protective coatings against corrosion and environmental challenges. Through continuous research and development, we are committed to evolving to meet customer demands, showcasing our adaptability and responsiveness to emerging challenges and opportunities by offering tailored solutions aligned with the ever-changing landscape of the construction industry.

Housing and Urban Renewal for Societal Betterment

With the government’s unwavering commitment to affordable housing initiatives like like Residensi Wilayah, Rumah Selangorku, Program Perumahan Rakyat (PPR), and Perumahan Inklusif Madani, the residential building subsector stands on the cusp of significant growth. While notable progress has been made, with 21.7% of the five-year target achieved in 2022, we take pride in our contributions to projects such as PPR Kempas Permai, PPR Bintong, Perlis, Selangor Penyayang Flat Sri Aman, Petaling Jaya, Selangor Penyayang Pangsapuri Samudera Port Klang and are dedicated to meeting the needs for quality solutions in the housing sector.

Simultaneously, urban renewal projects under the Urban Renewal Act offer opportunities for community revitalization. With 139 redevelopment areas totalling 1,297 hectares, there is immense potential for transformation. Nippon Paint’s TCCS is positioned to play a pivotal role in these systematic projects. Through collaborative efforts, we aim to rejuvenate aging areas, creating vibrant hubs for residents and Malaysians alike.

Lastly, recognizing the importance of maintenance in ensuring the long-term durability and sustainability of construction projects is just as crucial. Dealing with industry pain points like hairline cracks, powdery finish, blistering, peeling paint, moulding, hollowness, falling tiles, water seepage and others early is important, as they can lead to structural issues down the line. Through TCCS, combined with the technical know-how from our partners, we effectively address these challenges across maintenance projects of any scale. Together, in unity, we play our part in solidifying Malaysia’s construction landscapes and ensuring a better society for all.

Kuala Lumpur, 19 November 2024 – Nippon Paint Malaysia successfully launched an exciting new storybook entitled SuperGuardian, who? created in collaboration with Malaysia renowned book creator, Wizard Within. This innovative approach uses the power of storytelling to introduce young readers and parents to the concept of indoor air wellness, using an imaginative approach to highlight the importance of maintaining a healthy home environment.

In 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) updated its Ambient Air Quality Guidelines, reflecting new evidence that air pollution is more harmful to human health than previously thought. This raises particular concern for Malaysia, where ambient air quality standards for many pollutants still exceed both the WHO’s 2005 and 2021 guidelines.

Nippon Paint’s “SuperGuardian, who?” storybook tackles this pressing issue, offering families an engaging way to learn about the importance of indoor air wellness in everyday family life.

“Two years ago, we launched the Wellness Outreach Program to raise indoor health awareness among kids nationwide reaching over 150 schools with fun, educational sessions and coloring contests. Today, we’re excited to introduce the SuperGuardian, who? storybook that’s more than just a book—it’s a fun and meaningful way to engage families in the conversation around indoor air wellness,” said Datin Wong Meng Lee, Assistant General Manager, Marketing of Nippon Paint Malaysia. “Our commitment remains clear – to promote air wellness and healthy living in Malaysian homes. Through our partnership with Wizard Within, La gourmet and our wellness product range, we aim to make indoor wellness a priority for every family.” Parents and children alike were enthralled by the book-read sessions & exclusive insights with the book creators.

Their indoor wellness product range such as VirusGuard & Spot-less Plus, are designed to combat harmful pollutants like viruses, bacteria, and formaldehyde, perfectly complements the themes explored in the storybook. This emphasis on Nippon Paint’s innovative evidence-based solutions indoor paint, alongside the captivating narrative, resonated deeply with visitors seeking practical ways to improve their indoor environment.

A large group of diverse participants, including families and children, gather at a Nippon Paint event, showcasing colorful promotional materials and engaging activities. The backdrop features branding and logos of Nippon Paint and partnering brands, highlighting community involvement and creativity.

This collaboration between Nippon Paint and Wizard Within marks a promising chapter in Nippon Paint’s dedication to wellness creativity and innovation. Through SuperGuardian, who? the brand is introducing families to a new way of prioritizing air wellness, blending creativity with purposeful products to encourage long-term awareness.

The SuperGuardian, who? storybook forms part of Nippon Paint’s broader initiative, aimed at reducing harmful pollutants indoors and making air wellness a household priority in Malaysia through its AirGuardian product series. The launch also served as a teaser for future titles in the series, keeping visitors intrigued about what’s next for the partnership between Nippon Paint and Wizard Within.

This strategic partnership aims to foster the development of skilled professionals in the automotive coating industry. 

The vision to make Malaysia an automotive export hub is highly achievable under the National Automotive Policy 2020, as Malaysia currently has the second-largest automotive industry in Southeast Asia. The automotive sector is a cornerstone of our nation’s economy, producing a record-high total production volume of 799,731 vehicles in 2023, and the demand for a high-skilled TVET workforce and quality automotive parts to support this goal is crucial. 

Held at MITC Melaka, Ir. Mohd Nizam Mokhri, Deputy Director of the External and International Relations Branch, Skills & Technical Division of MARA, emphasised the importance of partnerships, “In line with the National TVET Policy 2030 aimed at producing skilled human capital imbued with national values, collaborations with industry leaders such as Nippon Paint are timely. These partnerships equip young Malaysians with industry-relevant skills and enable us to collaborate on advancing sectors like the automotive coating industry. As our Prime Minister highlighted during the launch of the National TVET Policy, we must align with the world’s current demands to ensure our workforce remains highly sought after for its exceptional quality.” 

General Manager of Nippon Paint, Mr. Tay Tze Tuck said that the signing of the MoU was a pivotal moment for the company. He stated, “This MoU marks a significant milestone for Nippon Paint as we continue to invest in the future of Malaysia’s workforce and automotive industry. In the highly competitive automotive refinishing segment, Nippon Paint Automotive Refinish is always pushing the boundaries further to stay ahead, setting new industry standards with the finest coatings for every type of vehicle for our Malaysian car owners. This way, we also strive to provide the best with our specially developed coatings that offer aesthetic superiority but also provide enhanced protection and longevity for their vehicles. This is in line with our commitment to setting new industry standards, and this collaboration supports Malaysia’s goals of boosting exports to the economy through producing high-quality local auto parts.” 

The MoU facilitates comprehensive training programs for 240 MARA students and 37 lecturers, with the help of Nippon Paint employees, focusing on auto-refinishing skills. Up to 24 selected MARA training centres will be accredited as certified Nippon Paint training centres, ensuring that the education provided meets high industry standards and is relevant to current market needs.
