MOSCOW (MRC) -- Penn Color New Facility Colorant Additive Masterbatches ThailandPenn Color, Inc. takes a significant step in expanding its manufacturing capabilities with the opening of a world-class facility in the Pluak Daeng Subdistrict, Rayong Province, Thailand, said Coatings.specialchem.
This new factory allows Penn Color to supply high-quality colorant and additive masterbatches to markets throughout the Asia-Pacific region. “This state-of-the-art facility has been planned with remarkable levels of flexibility to meet the most demanding technical and quality requirements, for packaging, consumer goods, building products and transportation. We bring here decades of experience and our most advanced manufacturing techniques,” said Scott Stamback, VP Sales EMEA & Asia.
Specifically designed to allow for future expansion to meet the increasing demand in the APAC region and beyond, one of the most outstanding features of this facility is that it uses the most recent technology for energy efficiency of its primary equipment, including a major portion being powered by solar-generated electricity.

Penn Color’s new production plant in Thailand is a strategic complement to the company’s Technology Center in Singapore. These two facilities were designed to play to their respective strengths, to provide together unmatched speed to market and flexibility.
“Penn Color has earned the trust of major customers at a global scale,” said Kevin Putman Jr, president and CEO of Penn Color.

We are committed to bringing state-of-the-art capabilities and an exceptional customer experience to drive our customers’ success in this highly competitive market,” added Putman Jr.
We remind, PPG announces the launch of PPG STEELGUARD 951 coating, an innovative epoxy intumescent fire protection coating designed to meet the demands of modern architectural steel, including up to three hours of cellulosic fire protection, said the company. In a fire situation, the coating expands from a thin, lightweight film into a thick, foam-like layer that insulates the steel and maintains its structural integrity, providing more time for people to escape and limiting damage to buildings and assets.
