Stamp of approval

When your business is creating a variety of surfaces for architecture and design, a national standard in furniture making is a boost to the local industry that translates into increased demand for your product.

PPG Industries is a New Zealand leader in the manufacture and supply of high-performance coatings, says national sales manager Duncan McDonnell.

"In this role, we connect with many design aspects across the country, including furniture making," says McDonnell.

"Further to this, our company is a strong supporter of the recently launched Furniture Master Seal initiative, which focuses on quality through training. We see this as a positive, timely step taken by the Forest Industry Training and Education Council (FITEC), the training arm of the industry, and the Furniture and Cabinetmaking Association of New Zealand (FCANZ)."

Besides raising the profile of the local industry, this initiative also heightens public awareness of the advantages of buying New Zealand-made furniture crafted by a master furniture maker.

"PPG Industries strongly encourages the furniture-buying public to look for cabinetry with a Furniture Master Seal."
