This particular investment is to strengthen the company&#8217;s position in Asia, while sharpening its focus on more sustainable manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five new powder coating lines have been added at the multi-site, along with a line for producing water-based products for the consumer electronics market (IT, wireless and home appliances). The total investment amounts to \u20ac18.5 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe cutting-edge powder coating lines we\u2019ve installed will help us to grow with our customers, serve them faster and pave the way for a more sustainable future,\u201d says Jeff Jirak, Managing Director of AkzoNobel\u2019s Powder Coatings business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIncreasing capacity at the site will enable us to focus on supporting volume growth in the northern part of the country, while our Dong Nai facility covers the southern part of Vietnam. It means we can now focus on streamlining our manufacturing processes to meet the diverse needs of the Vietnam market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This expansion project included a fully automated warehouse for the company\u2019s consumer electronics activities, along with installing advanced equipment and technology to deliver higher productivity rates and efficiency gains. This will contribute<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>to AkzoNobel\u2019s ambition to halve its own carbon emissions by 2030. The installation of a new line for water-based consumer electronics products will also help to lower emissions across the value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can now offer the latest water-based technology to our Vietnam-based multinational customers, including key Asian consumer electronic brands,\u201d explains Maximilien Schr\u00e9der, Global Director of AkzoNobel\u2019s Consumer Electronics business. \u201cThis represents another important step forward in terms of helping to reduce the overall carbon footprint of our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding the new lines in Bac Ninh is the latest in a series of investments in the South Asia region, following recent capacity expansions in Pakistan, Thailand and Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more news on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodandpanel.com\/?s=AkzoNobel&amp;cat=27527\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">AkzoNobel<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AkzoNobel recently completed a major investment project in its production plant in Bac Ninh province near Hanoi in Vietnam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":70312,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[25,7,40,10443,27527],"tags":[11387,16515,28611,17051,18599,29617],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.woodandpanel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70310"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.woodandpanel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.woodandpanel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodandpanel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodandpanel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70310"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodandpanel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70310\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodandpanel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.woodandpanel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodandpanel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodandpanel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
