How we work together

Trade in both directions, and bid together on business neither company would take alone.

The relationship runs two ways: AIC takes your range into its markets and supplies its own manufactured products into yours. Where a tender needs a local counterparty, AIC bids alongside you.

Who this suits

If one of these describes you, this is the right arrangement to ask about.

  • A trading house or manufacturer that both buys and sells, and wants a trade rather than an appointment.
  • A company bidding into Pakistan, the Gulf or Africa that needs a local counterparty with standing, documentation and stock.
  • A producer who wants AIC's manufactured ranges for their own market while supplying theirs into this one.

What AIC does

What is already in place, and already in use for AIC's own products.

Takes your range into its markets

Pakistan and the Gulf through the distribution and technical sales organisation; Africa and other markets through the trading division.

Supplies its own ranges into yours

MANSON screen printing inks and allied systems, industrial coatings and varnishes, adhesives and sealants, and formulated blends and repacked grades, on export terms.

Joins a bid where local standing is needed

Many tenders in this region require a local party with registration, documentation, stock-holding and a service capability. AIC can be that party.

Handles the documentation on this side

Registration, regulatory and import documentation prepared by people who do it daily.

What stays with you

An arrangement with AIC does not ask you to give up what you own.

Each direction of the trade is a separate commercial conversation, and both stay in correspondence. What is published here is that AIC does business on this footing.

Territory. Pakistan and the UAE and the GCC from stock and from manufacture; Africa and other markets as trading business, which is welcome on that footing.

Commercial terms are not published. They are settled with a named counterparty once a conversation has begun.
