Peter comments,"With many years of experience in the paints and coatings industry, I can't wait to start promoting the professional portfolio of TeknosPro products. The Teknos name is already established and I plan to build on this success by expanding the  number of locations stocking TeknosPro and growing the brand in the professional decorator market.
