Muscat, Oman, 29 April 2007 - Excel Coatings (Middle East) LLC reaffirms its leadership position in the region's paints and coatings industry by signing up as a major exhibitor and the gold sponsor of Interiors & Buildex 2007, which is scheduled on May 15-17 at the Oman International Exhibition Centre in Seeb.

"This international exhibition for the building and construction industry in Oman is a good opportunity for us to showcase our range of high-quality products for building, industrial and decorative purposes," said Murali Ramaswamy of Excel Coatings (Middle East) LLC.

Excel Coatings offers two well-known international brands, namely National and Mauvilac, which are under license from National Paints of Sharjah, UAE, and Mauvilac Industries of Mauritius, respectively. The company's product range includes alkyd enamel, acrylic emulsion, auxiliary paints, specialty coatings, clear pigmented coatings, epoxy, chlorinated rubber, polyurethane, modified alkyd, and bitumen-based coatings.  They also offer a premium product called Exstel, which is a sterile hygeine coating that reduces the growth of all strains of bacteria by 99 percent.  Exstel is manufactured exclusively from base raw materials by Excel Coatings.

"All of our products are manufactured right here in Oman at our plant in Rusayl Industrial Area," Ramaswamy stressed. "This speaks highly of the competence, expertise and technical capabilities of the local workforce here in the sultanate." 

He further pointed out that Excel Coatings gives particular attention to the quality of its products, starting from the sourcing of raw materials to the manufacturing process and up until the products are delivered to its valued customers.

The company's products will be prominently displayed at Interiors & Buildex 2007 to enable builders, contractors and other trade visitors to see for themselves how the paints and coatings can make a difference in their construction and renovation projects.
