What causes delays in delivery for specified colors? The situation regarding paint procurement.
I will specifically explain the reasons why specifying a particular color number extends the delivery time and how to determine colors that shorten the delivery time.
As soon as I specified the color number, I was told the delivery time would be two weeks. The delivery time varies significantly depending on the availability of stock. ────────────── ■Cause of Occurrence Paint is primarily produced to order for each color, and there is only a very small amount of stock available at all times. Specified colors take time from order to arrival. ■Truth Since the supply disruption in spring 2026, the arrival dates are unpredictable for certain brands. For small quantities of specified colors, minimum lot constraints lead to surplus stock. Additionally, the increase in color change setups makes it disadvantageous in terms of production capacity. ■Improvement Measures For areas that do not affect appearance, we will align with stock colors or standard colors. Before deciding on a color, we will confirm the procurement status of candidate colors with the painting company. Eiwa Kogei is responding with alternative proposals using stock colors and pre-confirming delivery times.

Company information
We are not just a "subcontracted painting factory." Established in 1958, our company has a foundation of painting technology and also specializes in chemical treatment, stripping, and cleaning, functioning as the "external surface treatment department" in your organizational chart. Based on our philosophy of "preparation is eight-tenths of the work," we emphasize participation from the "upstream process" before the drawings are finalized. We conduct test painting on a wide range of metals and difficult materials, and we produce the entire process from assembly, packaging, to delivery, thereby reducing your management workload. Additionally, by being able to perform zinc phosphate treatment in-house, we achieve stable painting quality. Furthermore, our micro-heating stripping technology, which does not use chemicals, maintains the electrical state of the "jigs (hangers)" that influence painting quality. Our approach of "pre-treatment determines painting quality" ensures the stability of the paint film during mass production. Rather than simply "applying specified standards," we work backwards to achieve optimal painting specifications and prevent scratches during transportation, sparing no effort in thorough discussions from the outset. This diligent preparation is the shortest path to preventing rework and minimizing total costs. From the development stage, please utilize the expertise of our specialists as part of your production line.
