The Chinese market is a very important part of Hempel’s business and our ongoing investment demonstrates our confidence in the region,” said Michael Mei, Group Vice President of Hempel in North Asia. 

He continued: “We’re investing in new and better production facilities to deliver on our ambitious goal of doubling Hempel’s revenue in the next five years to EUR 3 billion.”
