Pearl Polyurethane Systems boosts capacity at 1st Southeast Asia plant in Vietnam

Pearl Polyurethane Systems, a Dubai-headquartered provider of polyurethane (PU) insulation solutions, has announced a plan to boost capacity at its first Southeast Asia plant in Dong Nai province, an industrial hub in southern Vietnam.

The move came less than a year after the plant’s inauguration last October in An Phuoc industrial park, Long Thanh district. The Pearl Vietnam factory is the company’s fifth global production site.

The additional production line will go on stream next month, increasing the plant’s total annual capacity to 20,000 tons of PU systems, Martin Kruczinna, CEO of Pearl Group, told local media during the company’s Tech Days event recently held at the site.

The expansion will broaden Pearl’s product portfolio, enabling it to serve additional applications in the Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, and Elastomers (CASE) segment, as well as new industries including polyurea, automotive, packaging, and footwear, Kruczinna said.

Calling the move “a logical next step” in Pearl’s strategy to become the market leader in Vietnam’s PU sector in the mid-term, Kruczinna affirmed the company’s long-term commitment to the country, citing favorable infrastructure, a supportive regulatory environment, and government policies for foreign investors.

The Dong Nai facility currently acts as Pearl’s Asia-Pacific base, producing PU systems for metal panel manufacturers, the home appliances sector, and other rigid applications. It is also temporarily serving customers in India until a new plant there becomes operational.

According to the Dong Nai Industrial Zones Authority, the province lured over $1.3 billion in foreign direct investment into its industrial parks in January-May, $330 million above its 2025 target. The figure is expected to hit $1.5 billion by year-end.

Dong Nai is home to Long Thanh International Airport, which would be the largest in Vietnam once completed. The Pearl factory is situated just eight kilometers from the airport and 45 km from the Cai Mep-Thi Vai seaport cluster in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province.
