SMART Asia Chemical Bhd’s (SAC) new manufacturing plant at Bemban Industrial Park in Batu Gajah, Perak, will increase its production of water-based decorative paints and protective coatings by about threefold.

SAC chief operating officer and non-independent executive director Lim Kok Beng said the new plant, which was expected to be fully operational in the second quarter of this year, could manufacture about 27 million litres of its products annually.
