Knauf Vietnam on July 8 introduced its new gypsumboard Knauf StandardShield made in Vietnam, in Ho Chi Minh City.

The German producer officially launched its locally produced Knauf StandardShield in early June 2016 after only two years setting up regional offices and local production in Vietnam. From the new 20-million square meter gypsumboard manufacturing plant in the northern port city of Haiphong, Knauf Vietnam has started to supply the Vietnamese market and is gradually increasing its brand awareness throughout Vietnam.

“Now we are able to provide the Vietnam market with a high quality product produced locally. We believe Knauf will be able to grow our marketshare by increasing our brand awareness and product presence,” said David Victor Thomas, general director of Knauf Vietnam.

At the launching event, Knauf Vietnam also welcomed two new distributors in the south, I.S Joint Stock Company and Dong Do Interior Decoration Joint Stock Company.

“IS and Dong Do are major players in Vietnam’s internal linings construction market. We are confident that our three distributors in southern Vietnam - IS, Dong Do and JnJ, will be able to grow our Knauf brand and help promote it to dealers, installers and architects and in turn Knauf will be able to deliver value to our three distributors and their customers,” said David.

Founded in 1932, Knauf is a multinational producer of building materials and construction systems that operates more than 220 production plants in over 60 countries with roughly 25,000 employees. Recently, Knauf has been expanding into a number of East Europe and Asian markets.
