With 22 years of industry experience covering sales, operations, manufacturing and formulation in the coating industry, I have seen first-hand the notion of sustainability become more and more prominent. As the General Manager of Paintec Group, it is my mission to respond to the changing needs of the coating industry and eliminate the use, storage, and handling of flammable liquids by 2025. Paintec Group is a family owned and run company, and proud Queenslanders. We are dedicated to creating healthier, sustainable coatings for all different uses. As a group, we are very proud to supply coatings to over 100 companies all around Australia and New Zealand. Our coating companies include AQUIOTM, Australian Pool Coatings and Everglaze.  Paintec is our manufacturing arm and uses cutting edge technology and chemistry to create coatings that are both environmentally friendly and sustainability-focused. AQUIO™ has developed a more sustainable, water-based floor coating – NutriSkin™ that allows shipping container owners to reuse their boxes for food quality shipments at a fraction of the cost of a chemical washout or floorboard replacement.  Australian Pool Coatings has been supplying products to Shire Councils for over 25 years to help maintain their pools for the public to use and has now expanded to residential pools. With over 20 years’ experience in the floor and industrial coatings market, Everglaze provides sustainable products for recreational, commercial, and industrial floor coatings. I would love to connect with any person and business committed to making a difference to our world and making it a cleaner, healthier place.
