PPG Expansions in Vietnam and Malaysian Plant Operations
Company has expanded its business and capabilities.
PPG (Pittsburg, Penn.) has expanded its business and capabilities.
First, the compay has expanded the capacity of its Yen Phong industrial coatings plant in Bắc Ninh province, Vietnam. The enhancements include a new production line dedicated to PPG Aquacron waterborne decorative and functional coatings for consumer electronics, as well as state-of-the-art testing equipment and automated spray booths.
The upgraded plant, now equipped with six production lines, aims to reduce turnaround times, accelerate coatings development and expand access to the company’s technical and customer support.
PPG has expanded operations in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, to include the production of non-stick coatings for kitchenware, industrial bakeware and low friction applications. The plant now has additional capacity to support growing regional coatings demand as well as increased space dedicated to services for customers.
The facility is now equipped with five production lines for both waterborne and solvent-borne non-stick and low-friction coatings. This dual capability enables PPG to tailor solutions to meet a range of customer needs and product specifications.
With a focus on sustainably advantaged coatings solutions, the Petaling Jaya plant will service customers in the energy sector, as these low friction coatings offer a high degree of corrosion resistance and controlled torque required for oil and gas applications. Additionally, non-stick and decorative coatings produced at the plant will offer customers in the kitchen and industrial bakeware industries - coatings options that are made without PFAS.
