Dear Mr. Tutto, I'm not directing at you or your company. You did not offend me but somehow I felt agitated to read what you have posted. I'm telling the truth and stating facts but not you. I voiced out because I know what is going on in this industry. If i know nothing about it, I'll keep mu mouth shut. You claimed that you have been in the business for 23 years, but you just can't get the facts correct and wishfully think that you are the only one who manufacturer flakes in SG. Therefore, what I have stated is unquestionable. Either you are ignorant and live happily in your own fantasy, or you are trying to misleadour fellow forumers. You should have done your home work before making any claims, "As the only manufacturer of flakes in Sg....". Sg is so small but you didn't even know that there are at least 3 other local companies that manufacture flakes. Not just started, but for many years. Might be even longer than you did. The best part is when you mentioned about BO------ and your relationship withthe founder. Both of you are good friends and and exchanged tips with each other? You mean you don't know your "good friend" has been producing flakes in sg for many years? He did many HDB upgrading projects using locally produced flakes yet you are not aware? You mentioned you don't criticize or comment on others products. You just clarify facts? You slapped youe own face by saying that "imported flakes may not be as good as local ones...". On what basis do you make that comment? Because they are not tested to local standard so they are not as good? For your information, BO------ had been using the imported paint flakes (good product as you mentioned) for more than a decade before switching to produce thier own flakes due to increasing inventory and import costs. You contradicted yourself by saying that BO--- have "good products" that were produced elsewhere. The "good products" you mentioned are the imported paint flakes. Yes. This forum is free. But not for suppliers to sell their "ko yok" here. Let me direct you to the "Posting of sales & offers" annuncement page of this forum. It stated that " Posting of commercial company sales and offers and their links are notallow in renotalk forum"
