AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings has opened a new colour-blending and distribution facility in Chonburi, Thailand, to strengthen support for commercial aviation operators, MROs, OEMs and industry partners across the Asia-Pacific region.
The site will offer locally blended aerospace topcoats as well as streamlined access to primers, thinners and curing solutions, the aim being to reduce lead times and strengthen technical and commercial support for customers in the region.
Located around 90 minutes from Bangkok International Airport, east of Pattaya, the facility opened officially on 25 August 2026. Guests at the opening toured the production floor, quality control laboratory and distribution facilities, and met members of AkzoNobel’s local and regional teams.
Marius Vasiliu, regional sales director for AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings Asia Pacific, said: “The new opening of our Chonburi facility is an important milestone as we look to support commercial aviation operators, MROs, OEMs and industry partners across the region. Customers can expect fast access to the products they need, backed by technical expertise and increased responsiveness for locally blended and stocked coatings solutions at the highest quality.”
“From this site we will be able to offer increased distribution capabilities, reducing lead times for local blending of topcoats alongside streamlined access to primers, thinners and curing solutions,” Vasiliu added.
