With its high quality products and reliable service, Nippon Paint has successfully turned itself into the top paint brand in the fiercely competitive paint market in China.

Besides making itself appealing to consumers, Nippon Paint also dedicates itself to corporate social responsibility.

In 2002, Nippon Paint funded the first Nippon Paint primary school. Eight years later, Nippon Paint started the charity project named "Color, Way of Love" nationwide, painting the walls of 111 primary schools. They funded 26 Nippon primary schools and 90 Happy Art classrooms in China.
