The new facility will ensure convenient services for customers in northern Vietnam.
Vietnam is one of the fastest-growing markets in Asia-Pacific. Northern Vietnam has a high concentration of businesses in the durables and electronics segments, which creates a significant demand for high-quality label materials.
The new terminal will be equipped with state-of-the-art slitting capabilities. It will offer a targeted portfolio of label material inventory based on the needs of the local customers to ensure greater efficiency and flexibility.
“We are excited to strengthen our presence in northern Vietnam with our new terminal. This investment will enable us to serve our customers in the region with greater agility and efficiency, as well as capture business opportunities in the higher-value durables and electronics segments,” said Henning Krebs, vice president of UPM Adhesive Materials for Asia-Pacific.
The terminal is expected to be in operation around mid-2026. UPM Adhesive Materials has also announced an investment in a brand-new coating line and material handling upgrades at its label material factory in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Both investments will enable UPM Adhesive Materials to better serve its customers and accelerate growth in Southeast Asia, where it holds a leading market position.
UPM Adhesive Materials operates two factories in Asia-Pacific, one in China and one in Malaysia. It offers reliable services through eleven terminals and warehouses across Southeast Asia, North Asia, and Oceania.
