HCM CITY (Biz Hub) — USG Boral Vietnam has more than tripled the capacity of its technical boards this year with the addition of a new manufacturing line to its plant in Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park in HCM City.

Gregory Lukasik, USG Boral Vietnam general manager, made the announcement during the company's official launching in Viet Nam on November 19.

Lukasik explained that the company was celebrating its launching now because the year 2014 marked the formation of the joint venture that created it.

"Technical boards offer great potential for growth in Viet Nam. They respond to a broad range of needs by end users and meet local construction regulations such as fire, moisture resistance and so on. As the Vietnamese market matures, so will demand for more technical boards," Lukasik said.

USG Corporation of the United States and Boral Limited of Australia formed a 50-50 joint venture known as USG Boral in early 2014. Its ceiling and drywall products are used in various Vietnamese constructions such as the National Assembly House, JW Marriott Hotel and Noi Bai Airport's Terminal Two. — VNS
