Axalta recently appointed a new Australian refinish distributor, AJP Industrial Supplies, based in Mackay, Queensland. The decision aligns with our commitment to the refinish market and ongoing focus on servicing regional areas of Australia.

Established in 2008, AJP Industrial Supplies has built a strong position in the local Mackay market, servicing a range of industrial customers in the mining, construction, agriculture, and transportation industries. As part of the agreement with Axalta, AJP Industrial Supplies will distribute Axalta’s Spies Hecker, Syrox and Duxone refinish brands, helping expand their position as a leading coatings supplier in central Queensland.  

“We selected a distributor that could provide customers with a simple, relationship-focused buying experience and a commitment to service,” said Stephen Morris, Axalta’s Territory Business Manager in Queensland. “Partnering with AJP Industrial Supplies is an obvious choice, as they have an outstanding reputation in the Queensland market, supported by a competent technical team.”

“We were looking for an opportunity to further strengthen our business with the addition of a highly reputable brand in the automotive refinish industry,” added Malcolm Henri, AJP Industrial Supplies’ Operations Manager. “Their support has been excellent and we are excited for what the future holds.”
