Kuncai Europe expands and re-structures its organisation
“Now that our new 30,000 tons per annum state-of-the-art facility in China is fully commissioned and ready to support a continued, strong demand for ethically-compliant pearl pigment, it is the right time to raise our profile and presence in the European market” said Mike Tijdink, General Manager, Kuncai Europe BV. “We recognise the emphasis that our customers place on specialty focus, consistent quality, value-in-use and compliance and, in response, we are ready to service an increasing demand for our products, both natural and synthetic”.
