October 2024
Stahl, the world leader in speciality coatings for flexible materials, has announced the opening of a new state-of-the-art facility for the manufacturing of polyurethane dispersions (PUD) in Singapore. This strategic expansion is designed to better serve the growing demand in the Asian and South Pacific regions. The new facility underscores Stahl’s commitment to sustainability and innovation, while also supporting the company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals.
A strategic geographical shift
Historically, Stahl’s PUD production has been centred in Europe, with products imported into Asia to meet market demand. With the establishment of the Singapore facility, Stahl can now streamline its supply chain, reducing delivery times and improve service for its customers across the region.
Therefore, the shift underscores Stahl’s long-term commitment to investing in the region and supporting its customers with faster, more sustainable solutions tailored to the unique demands of the Asia-Pacific market.
Driving innovation with high-performance PUDs
The new facility will focus on producing high-performance polyurethane dispersions, which offer a range of beneficial properties critical for various industries. These advanced PUDs provide exceptional fastness, water resistance, print retention, and high flex durability, making them ideal for use in demanding applications.
PUD technology plays a key role in reducing solvent usage, making it an important component of Stahl’s broader sustainability strategy. By producing more water-based coatings, Stahl reduces the environmental impact of its operations, supporting the transition to more sustainable materials across industries. The Singapore facility will further explore renewable energy and bio-based formulations, advancing the company’s ESG goals and paving the way for future innovations.
