CHONBURI, Thailand - Responding to current and expected production needs for Thailand and Southeast Asia, AkzoNobel has opened a new Performance Coatings production facility in Chonburi, Thailand. With an investment of €31 million, the company expands its footprint with this ninth production site in Southeast Asia. The new site will help to better serve AkzoNobel customers and reflects the company’s continued commitment to the region.
Commenting on the opening, Bill Collins, Corporate Director of AkzoNobel Performance Coatings business, said, "This new facility highlights our continued focus on adapting to market needs in order to better serve our customers with essential color and protection.
