PAINT & PINTURA
sons-in-law of Waldemar Lazzuri, a professional
extensively experienced in the automotive refinish
market, which the company eventually begin to ser-
ve, taking advantage of Mr. Lazzuri’s knowledge and
relationships in the business. “After ten years out of
business, I felt that I could come back to this market
and contribute to its development,” says Lazzuri.
Located in the town of Salto, upstate São Paulo,
Skylack’s production plant has state-of-the-art
equipment and is designed to produce 800,000 to 1
million quarter gallons per month, which was the
volume produced by Lazzuri’s old factory by the time
that he sold it to a multinational. “We’ve purchased
cutting-edge equipment, put together our own, high-
technology resins plant, and hired skilled professio-
nals for the various departments. That allowed us to
manufacture quality products which match those of
multinationals in quality at competitive prices. Then
we started contacting our customers in the automo-
tive refinish market, who received very well the new
option that we represent,” Lazzuri explains.
Working with its own technology in several product
lines and selling through salespersons and sales repre-
sentatives, Skylack has been advancing in the domestic
market and is planning on actions in several regions
to increase its market share. “We are Brazilian-based,
family-run business providing customers with top-no-
tch products and services compared to those offered by
the multinationals in our industry,” Scontre remarks.
“Skylack is now an excellent option in both quality and
price for the refinish market,” Fruet adds.
Technicians get together to discuss Latincoat &
Adhesives 2010
The preparations for Latincoat & Adhesives 2010 are
well under way. The members of the Technology Board
for the trade show met in the second half of February
to discuss details of the event, which will take place in
October 26 through 28 at Espaço Apas, in São Paulo.
The themes for lectures (with priority to unpublished
papers) to be delivered at the trade show include sus-
tainability, technologies involving renewable sources,
application of coatings and adhesives (industrial
purposes, auto parts and implements), nano-tech-
nology, investments in building and construction,
the importance of pre-salt oil to manufacturers of
coatings and adhesives, packaging materials, trans-
portation in general, the environmental legislation,
carbon credits, and investments in construction for
the next decade.
The plenary session will address the environmental
legislation, while the debate cycles, which will take
place during the three days of congress, will cover
such themes as building and construction, packaging
and transportation (adhesives), UV coatings, electro-
plating, automotive refinish and water-based paints.
