Nissan India & Nippon Paint Partners To Supply Workshop Inventory: Here Are All Details

Under the partnership, Nissan workshops across the country can order paint online and receive inventory directly from Nippon. This will avoid another step of dealers reaching out to the automaker for procuring paint for the Bodyshop. The process will be much faster and dealers can plan better as well. The company calls this as a Drop Shipment Model.

Nippon will be exclusively providing Nissan with its top-spec Nax-Premila range of products for body shop operations. The Nax-Premila paint product is a premium solvent-borne system that provides a rapid, high quality and cost-efficient paint repair and refinishing solutions for automotive body & paint shops.

Commenting on the partnership, Mr Sharad Malhotra, President, Nippon Paint India Automotive Refinish said, "At Nippon Paint India, we provide innovative paint and coating products & services with a focus to drive win:win and a healthy business for the long term.

We have been proactively working with Nissan in India for the past several years and our new exclusive partnership will help us reach out to the entire Nissan dealer network across the length and breadth of the country. Ultimately this will result in improved body shop operations, product quality and value that will benefit Nissan dealers and customers."
