Serendah, Malaysia, July 10, 2024 – We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of our largest manufacturing plant in Asia, located in the UMW High Value Manufacturing Park, Serendah! This state-of-the-art facility spans over 217,800 square feet, making it approximately 3.5 times larger than our previous plant in Kepong, Malaysia. This new plant highlights Malaysia's pivotal role in the regional construction industry, as we produce high-quality construction chemical products for export to over 18 countries, including Greater China, North Asia, and the Pacific.
Our new plant is equipped with cutting-edge technology, featuring automated powder manufacturing systems with robotic palletisers and new equipment for producing specialty coating materials. This investment in technology not only boosts efficiency but also ensures we maintain the highest standards of quality and safety.
Strategic Investment in Malaysia
Saptak Roy, our Managing Director of Tremco CPG RPM Platform Markets APAC, expressed our excitement: “The new plant marks a milestone for RPM Platform Markets APAC. Malaysia’s strategic location, robust infrastructure, and business-friendly environment made it the ideal choice for this significant investment. The plant’s location in the UMW High Value Manufacturing Park in Serendah, a designated heavy industrial zone, ensures it meets the operational needs of RPM Platform Markets APAC.”
Strengthening Regional Leadership
“This facility demonstrates a move to strengthen our position as a leading provider of construction and coatings products in the Asia-Pacific region,” Roy added. “The expansion allows for a substantial increase in production capacity—almost doubling our liquid production and bringing our powder production to nearly seven times more than what we were capable of previously. This supports our robust growth plans for the region and allows us to better serve rapidly expanding construction markets in Southeast Asia and beyond.”
Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at RPM Platform Markets APAC. Our new plant incorporates several eco-friendly features, including a rainwater harvesting system, LED lighting for energy efficiency, bulk tanks for liquid storage to reduce waste, and electric forklifts to minimize carbon emissions. Additionally, the plant uses Flowcrete’s Mondeco epoxy terrazzo flooring containing recycled glass content and includes a roof garden to promote a healthy working environment.
“These sustainable practices demonstrate our dedication to environmental responsibility and creating a safe, eco-friendly workplace for our employees,” said Roy.

We are proud to create numerous employment opportunities for the local community in Serendah and surrounding areas. Local talent will find opportunities in various fields such as operations, manufacturing, engineering, R&D, logistics, IT support, and more. We are also committed to engaging with local universities by offering internships and collaborating on product development and research initiatives.
