AkzoNobel has announced local manufacturing of Chartek ONE, the next evolution in epoxy passive fire protection (PFP), in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.

 

This strategic move caters to growing demand within the region and positions the Dammam site as a vital supply point alongside AkzoNobel's existing manufacturing network for Chartek ONE.

 

AkzoNobel's protective coatings brand, International, recently hosted an exclusive launch event in Dammam, inviting key customers to witness the unveiling of Chartek ONE.

 

The event provided an in-depth overview of the single-coat, boron-free, and mesh-free solution designed to simplify PFP application for energy sector assets by enhancing efficiency and streamlining the installation process.

 

The establishment of the Dammam factory as a supplier of Chartek ONE for the EMEA region marks a significant milestone, positioning Saudi Arabia as a key manufacturing and export hub for AkzoNobel's advanced PFP coatings.

 

Adam Stephenson, General Manager Middle East said, "We are delighted to be manufacturing Chartek ONE in Dammam, creating local value and jobs in Saudi Arabia. Simultaneously, this facility will play a key role in supplying EMEA, highlighting the Kingdom's crucial position in our global strategy, allowing us to efficiently serve both the local and export markets with an industry-leading PFP range.” -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
