HCM CITY (Biz Hub) — Knauf Viet Nam Co., Ltd. has introduced its new gypsum board – Knauf StandardShield made in Viet Nam - at a ceremony in HCM City on Friday.

The product will be manufactured at the new gypsum board manufacturing plant that opened in June in Hai Phong City's Dinh Vu Industrial Park. The factory has a capacity of 20 million square metres of gypsum board yearly.

After only 2 years setting up regional offices and local production in Viet Nam, Knauf Viet Nam has started to supply the Vietnamese market and gradually increase their brand awareness throughout Viet Nam.

"Now we are able to provide locally-made and high quality products to the market in Viet Nam. I believe that Knauf will be able to grow our market share by increasing our brand awareness and product presence," said David Victor Thomas – General Director of Knauf Viet Nam.

At the ceremony, Knauf Viet Nam also introduced two new distributors in the South, including the I.S Joint Stock Company and Dong Do Interior Decoration Joint Stock Company.

Knauf Viet Nam plans to have a full product offering throughout the country by the end of 2016. — VNS
