Acotec Humidur Partners With Jurunature
The jointly owned company, Jurunature Humidur Asia Pacific Sdn Bhd, will produce coating products at a manufacturing plant in Malaysia.
Acotec Humidur (Erembodegem, Belgium) has entered into a joint venture with Jurunature Sdn Bhd (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) to meet the increasing demand in the Asian-Pacific market.
As a result of the growing demand for Humidur and Humidur Char corrosion and passive fire protection (PFP) coatings in Asia, Acotec announced the joint venture with Jurunature Sdn Bhd. Together, the companies will produce coating products at the manufacturing plant in Malaysia. According to the companies, this strategic decision was taken not only in order to be able to supply the Asian market faster, but also to cut down transport and operational costs more efficiently.
The jointly owned company is now called Jurunature Humidur Asia Pacific Sdn Bhd.
Wim Schalley, CEO of Acotec, says, “The official opening of Jurunature Humidur Asia Pacific is a major step in our company’s history. It is a cooperation based on mutual fit. We both share the philosophy of putting customers first and serving them in the most optimal way we can. Protecting our customer’s asset is our lifetime goal.”
Dato’ Sri Muhammad Syafiq, managing director of Jurunature, adds, “We are very proud to be associated with Humidur and the formation of this joint-ownership company. The activation of this production plant demonstrates the strong commitment to maintain the quality of the Humidur and Humidur Char products. Humidur and Humidur Char offer advantages and warranties unseen in the coating industry and this will meet well with client expectations of keeping both Capex and Opex costs down on the long term.”
