IM GROUP, formerly Inkmaker Group, secured first place in the Sistemas Tintométricos – Equipamentos Industriais, or Industrial Tinting Equipment Systems, category at the Paint & Pintura Awards in Brazil.

Organized by Agnelo Editora, publisher of Paint & Pintura Magazine, the awards are based on an annual market survey involving suppliers, manufacturers and industry professionals across the coatings value chain.

IM GROUP received 41% of the total vote in its category, ahead of Corob at 35% and Santint at 24%. This marks the 13th consecutive year the company has secured the top position in the segment.

“Thirteen consecutive years of recognition reflects the consistency of our execution and our long-term commitment to the region. We are grateful to the people of Brazil for their continued trust, and to the Paint & Pintura team—Agnelo De Barros Neto, Lucélia Monfardini, Erica Brandão, and all involved—for delivering such a respected industry benchmark. Latin America remains a strategic growth area for IM GROUP, and we will continue investing in local presence and capabilities to support our customers’ evolving needs,” said Enrico Mattiazzi, general manager for the Americas, IM GROUP.
