IMCD Group (IMCD) has opened a new Construction Laboratory in Indonesia. The new laboratory brings construction expertise together with IMCD’s established Coatings Laboratory, creating a single hub where its technical and commercial experts, customers and principals can collaborate more closely on formulation development, testing and technical problem-solving.

The company has operated a Coatings Laboratory in Jakarta since 2018, supporting coatings, paints and construction producers with technical advice, formulation development and laboratory services. In 2024, the site was fully refurbished to strengthen collaboration with partners and further advance formulation innovation. IMCD says the addition of the Construction Laboratory builds directly on this investment.

“With both the Coatings and Construction laboratories and experts working side by side, we can support our partners in a more connected and effective way,” says Pimsiraya Vichaidit, director, Coatings & Construction, Asia-Pacific, at IMCD. “It means faster development, stronger troubleshooting and solutions that are designed around the realities of the regional market.”
