32 I Jotun Group Report 2020 Customers and innovation / Iconic structures
Over the past 20 years, Jotun has emerged as a market leader
in supplying paints and coatings that protect and beautify
some remarkable structures. In fact, Jotun has delivered paints
and or coatings to 12 of the 20 tallest buildings in the world
and, according to a 2019 report by Council on Tall Buildings
and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), Jotun has supplied products to
eight of the 50 most influential tall buildings the last 50 years.
AMAZING ARCHITECTURE
In 2020, Jotun strengthened its reputation by securing
a number of exciting contracts. In Malaysia, Jotun is the
preferred supplier to the Merdeka 118, a 644m skyscraper
in Kuala Lumpur which, when completed, will be the tallest
building in South East Asia and the second-tallest building in
the world. In Turkey, Jotun supplied protective, decorative and
powder coatings to the Atatürk Cultural Centre in Istanbul and
the Vakıf GYO, a ‘green building’ that is part of the Istanbul
International Financial Centre Project.
In the Middle East, Jotun paints and coatings can be found
on the Opus, a mirrored glass building in Dubai containing a
hotel, offices, serviced apartments and restaurants. In Oman,
Jotun will supply LEED-platinum certified buildings connected
to the Oman Botanic Gardens, a 420-hectare site near Muscat,
and in Qatar, Jotun has secured the Qetaifan Island Waterpark
project which features 36 different rides and an 80-metre
water slide, the highest in the world.
MANAGING COMPLEXITY
While Jotun’s success is grounded in quality products, the
organisation’s ability to support architects, engineers,
developers and contractors on complex projects puts
the company in a class by itself. In many markets, Jotun is
recognised for its ability to provide Single Source Solutions,
offering decorative paints and protective and powder
coatings that protect and beautify every part of a structure.
And for developers and architects seeking ‘green building
certification’, Jotun offers Green Building Solutions, a suite of
more environmentally friendly paints and coatings backed by
one of the most comprehensive lists of Environmental Product
Declarations (EPDs) in the industry. Jotun is proud to support
architects and developers with products that help them
express their creativity and meet their business objectives in a
more sustainable way.
Special projects
From skyscrapers to airports, art museums to sports arenas, Jotun supplies paints and coatings to
some of the world’s most spectacular buildings.
