Preface
Amid the thriving wave of the global coatings industry, KASTAR is actively expanding its overseas market presence, showcasing the strength and excellence of a Chinese coatings enterprise through its professional expertise and high-quality products. Recently, KASTAR made a remarkable impact in the Southeast Asian market by participating in two prestigious international exhibitions—the ASEAN Coatings New Technology Summit in Jakarta, Indonesia, and the 2025 Vietnam Coatings & Chemicals Expo in Ho Chi Minh City.
01. ASEAN Coatings New Technology Summit
1. Event Overview
On June 17, at the ASEAN Coatings New Technology Summit in Jakarta, Indonesia, KASTAR emerged as a standout exhibitor with its cutting-edge coating technologies and innovative products. The summit brought together leading industry players, experts, and scholars from around the world to engage in in-depth discussions on the latest advancements, emerging trends, and breakthrough products in the coatings sector.
2. Industry-Wide Solutions
Data indicates that Indonesia's coatings market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2025 to 2032, reaching an estimated $7.01 billion by 2032. KASTAR’s winning strategy lies in its highly adaptable product portfolio, perfectly aligned with market demands. For Indonesia’s waterborne coatings market, KASTAR showcased its self-developed Lanthanum-Actinium (La-Ac) specialty additives, which significantly enhance adhesion in high-humidity environments—effectively addressing coating delamination issues caused by the region’s tropical rainforest climate. Additionally, KASTAR offers a range of agency-distributed products from internationally renowned coatings additive companies, attracting partnership interest from multiple local enterprises.
3. Technical Exchange
During the technical exchange sessions, KASTAR’s R&D team engaged in in-depth discussions with global industry peers. By sharing R&D insights and technological breakthroughs, KASTAR not only elevated its international reputation and influence but also gained valuable experience to fuel future innovation and product upgrades.
02. Vietnam Coatings & Chemicals Expo
Exhibition Overview
Shifting to Ho Chi Minh City, the Coatings Expo Vietnam 2025, which opened on June 25, presented another vibrant business landscape. At this premier industry event, KASTAR demonstrated its strong synergy with the Southeast Asian market—its booth, set within the 8,500㎡ exhibition hall, drew a constant stream of visitors, with negotiation tables perpetually occupied. KASTAR’s integrated industry solutions model perfectly aligned with Vietnam’s high-growth coatings market demands.
Comprehensive Industry Solutions
KASTAR’s meticulously designed booth showcased a full range of high-performance industrial coatings, renowned for their exceptional durability and eco-friendly properties, attracting numerous local enterprises and buyers. Tailored to the Vietnamese market, KASTAR introduced localized coating solutions, addressing diverse client needs with precision.
Collaboration & Exchange
During the expo, KASTAR secured multiple partnership agreements with Vietnamese companies. Through in-depth discussions with local stakeholders, the company gained critical insights into regional market preferences and emerging trends, laying a solid foundation for its long-term growth in Vietnam. Simultaneously, KASTAR reinforced its global commitment to delivering premium coating additives and services to the international market.
As the applause faded in Jakarta and the lights dimmed in Ho Chi Minh City, KASTAR’s Southeast Asian journey had only just begun. These two successful exhibitions marked key milestones in the company’s aggressive overseas expansion strategy.
With established subsidiaries in Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, and Jakarta, KASTAR’s next strategic move is Malaysia, further broadening its regional footprint. By fostering close collaborations with Southeast Asian clients and partners, KASTAR continues to sharpen its global vision and competitiveness.
Looking ahead, KASTAR will remain steadfastly focused on the specialty chemicals industry, continuously optimizing integrated solutions and services to deepen our presence in Southeast Asian markets. Building on the success of this exhibition participation, we will further strengthen cooperation with local enterprises, actively advance our localization strategy, and provide Southeast Asian customers with higher-quality, more professional coating solutions. We are committed to setting a new benchmark for Chinese coating enterprises going global!
