KUALA LUMPUR, May 25 (Bernama) — As an important step in Saint-Gobain’s strategy to surge developments in South East Asia, the Company has invested in a new plant to produce advanced solution for construction applications, including a large variety of mortars, waterproofing and construction chemicals solutions. Located on a 50,000m² land in Johor, the southern state of Malaysia, the factory, will be devoted to serve the Company’s growing Malaysian and Singaporean markets.
Saint-Gobain has been present in Malaysia for over 20 years. This new factory is the fifth (5th) industrial establishment of the Group in the country and the 28th in Southeast Asia. It is a testament to the confidence investors have in Malaysia and the region. The expansion in Asia-Pacific constitutes one of the top priorities for Saint-Gobain as a future regional manufacturing hub to support ASEAN countries and beyond.
