Becoming a member
The Association has member companies (paint manufacturers) around the world. Each member has the sole right to represent Transocean in their country.
In addition it is possible to obtain the rights to market Transocean Paints in countries where the association is not yet represented. As such, Transocean is represented in many countries.
The activities of the group are coordinated by the central office located in Berkel en Rodenrijs, the Netherlands. One of the central office activities is the development of promotional material for the whole group. Some examples are shown on the right.
The strategy of the association is discussed and determined by the members twice per year. The central office has no voting rights. This means that every member has direct influence on what is going on in the association.
