End applications served include plastic coloring, industrial surface coatings, decorative finishing, and artistic paint production.

The business is operated from a headquarters at ул.

Distribution is carried out through direct B2B sales with account-manager-based technical consultation on pigment selection, supported by a catalog-based website and phone/email contact. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Marketing channels include participation in industry conferences such as the VI Industry Conference CREON 'Russian Paint and Coatings Market 2026' (moderated by General Director Alexey Demenok) and international exhibitions including ChinaPlas 2026 in Shanghai, alongside the corporate catalog site and direct outreach.
