凯茵化工讯 为应对东盟地区日益增长的需求，德国化工巨头巴斯夫公司在泰国邦波生产基地开设了一家汽车涂料制造厂。

　　该厂于12月13日正式开启，将生产溶剂和水性汽车涂料，并将与巴斯夫在东欧励隆色素炭黑20盟地区的涂料技术能力中心互补。该中心于2015年在该地区成立。

　　在谈到该公司在东盟的高家汽车涂料厂时，巴斯夫涂料部门总裁Dirk Bremm说，新厂将兑现公司对该地区客户的承诺，成为“所有主要汽车制造商的可信赖的合作伙伴”。

　　该部门成立的原因是，在东盟地区从事生产和技术开发活动的汽车OEM厂商数量的显著增长——这也是导致对涂料的解决方案，以及产品的本地创新需求增长的原因。

　　根据2017年11月发布的LMC汽车报告，预计今年东盟的汽车总产量将达到约390万辆。

　　泰国将占据这个市场的50%以上，代表着东盟好大的涂料市场，其次是印度尼西亚和马来西亚。

　　巴斯夫公司 副总裁Peter Fischer说：“凭借我们在泰国的强大实力，我们满足了对可持续和高效节能解决方案的日益增长的需求。”

　　2015年，巴斯夫推出了东盟涂料技术能力中心，以支持该地区的汽车客户。该中心提供产品开发服务、高性能应用程序设备、色彩设计和一个小批量生产单位。

　　根据巴斯夫的说法，产品和技术设备的协同定位将提高运作效率和快速市场化。
