Nippon Paint Details Coatings Supply to Nine Overseas Auto Plants
Nippon Paint Holdings said its China business has supported nine overseas automotive plants in five countries as Chinese automakers expand local vehicle production. The work combines coatings supply with technical support during startup, trial production and ramp-up.
Nippon Paint China said it supplies three Chery plants in Malaysia, Indonesia and Pakistan and secured additional projects for a Malaysian smart factory and a plant in Vietnam. The products involved include pretreatments, intermediate coats and topcoats.
The company also supplies a 2K clearcoat and other coatings to projects for Geely in Malaysia and Indonesia, and won topcoat projects for BYD plants in Thailand and Indonesia. Nippon Paint said the nine plants together have annual capacity exceeding 1 million vehicles.
These projects show how industrial coatings suppliers can support paint lines as automakers move production closer to regional markets.
