A new facility producing tile adhesive and related cementitious powder products will provide better, faster service to numerous new construction projects in the region

GLOBAL industrial adhesive specialist Bostik has expanded its cementitious powder manufacturing capabilities in Asia with the recent opening of a new production plant near the Malaysian city of Johor Bahru. The facilities are expected to serve the construction markets in Malaysia and Singapore.

As a result of this expansion, well-known products such as Excel-Flex, Maxi-Flex, Super-Fixall and Ultra-Mastik will now be more readily available to building professionals in southern Malaysia and Singapore.

The plant’s location makes it ideal to service a fast-developing local construction market which includes the surrounding Iskandar Development Region and several large housing projects in the Johor Bahru region. Other developments in the area include the expansion of public housing programs by Singapore’s Housing and Development Board (HDB).

The new 1,500-sqm facility has a capacity estimated at 14,000 metric tonnes per year, and will manufacture several types of products, such as cementitious tile adhesives (CTA), including classifications class C2S1, C2E and C1E, non-shrink grout and skim coat. These product groups are based on Bostik’s world-class Polymer Modified Binder (PMB) technology platform which remains a focus of its ongoing innovation, research and development activities.

“We are delighted to be bringing our innovative PMB technologies closer to fast-developing markets such as Malaysia and Singapore. We are sure that this brand new production unit will bring substantial benefit to the construction projects planned and already underway locally, and more widely to all of our clients in southern Malaysia and Singapore,” Bostik CEO Bernard Pinatel said.

Bostik Malaysia also recently introduced a range of new tiling systems that comply with international standards.It has also secured local official approval for a large number of its CTA, waterproofing, sealant and flooring products. Moreover, 13 products have received HDB approval, and 10 products have been awarded Green Label status by the Singapore Environment Council.

Commenting on the opening of the Johor Bahru plant, Bostik Malaysia managing director Chuen-Peng Ting, said, “This new facility further reinforces our commitment to local construction activities and demonstrates our support for these exciting new projects. With our newly upgraded production capacities, we fully intend the plant to act as a platform to develop our presence in the region.”

Bostik offers building professionals a comprehensive and innovative range of construction systems, from foundation to finish. Its constantly renewed and enhanced technologies deliver superior performance while meeting the latest local and international building codes and environmental, quality and performance standards.

With 2013 sales of €1.6 billion, Bostik employs 4,800 people and has a presence in more than 50 countries. Bostik is a company of Total.
