We develop new markets. For example we developed the market in the UK starting in the early 80s for spray painting in buildings, which is now reaching mainstream with many suppliers. We are presently developing the market for plaster spraying in the UK.We also supply and support many other applications such as spray line marking of roads, car parks and warehouses, liquid roof coatings, intumescent coatings and insulation foam. Also spray finishing especially of joinery.Lion Industries is a distributor incorporated in 1977 and now markets mainly in the UK but also exports to Europe, the Middle East and Africa. We service and repair the products that we sell and supply consumables and parts by next working day.I was looking for a small company to take over Lion Industries as an on-going business in an expanding market. This has now happened and Trade Spray Services Ltd have purchased all our assets on 1st February 2017 who are in the same line of business, and who we know well and respect their professional and honest approach. They have continued to trade from our premises as a branch office of their London based company, and have already settled in very well.
