Stahl's strategic growth aims to meet the increasing need in Asia and the South Pacific for its specialized coatings on flexible materials. The company states that the new facility highlights its dedication to sustainability and innovation, as well as upholding the company's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives.

Throughout history, Stahl has primarily produced PUD in Europe and then shipped products to Asia to fulfill market needs. By setting up the Singapore facility, Stahl can improve its supply chain efficiency, leading to shorter delivery times and better customer service in the region. This move highlights Stahl's dedication to investing in the region and providing faster, eco-friendly solutions that meet the specific needs of the Asia-Pacific market.

Dennis Koh, Site and Operations Manager at Stahl Singapore, expressed the significance of this new development: “The new facility for PUD manufacturing in Stahl Singapore is designed to serve the Asian and South Pacific markets, spanning from China and Japan to New Zealand. This expansion supports our ESG goals by increasing the production of water-based coatings and decreasing solvent usage. With this new development, we can simplify our supply chain and shorten lead times for our customers. We are proud to include PUD in our service offerings, enhancing our technical capabilities to collaborate on challenging projects. I am extremely proud of my team who worked closely with the main contractor, Essential Engineering & Construction, to successfully complete this project in 18 months.”
