Taiwan – More advanced powder coatings solutions will be available to customers in Taiwan now that a state-of-the-art and sustainable plant is being built by Akzo Nobel in Chungli.
The fully automated plant, which represents a 24 million dollar investment, will have the increased production capacity to fulfill growing demand in the architecture, auto accessories, telecommunications, electronic components, furniture, domestic appliances, sports equipment and machine tools markets.
Once operational, the new plant will bring the company closer to its overall energy and water sustainability ambitions. It’s expected to reduce energy consumption by 30 %, increase the water reuse rate to 60 % and achieve zero VOC emissions – in addition to creating a safer and healthier working environment.
