In the Philippines, UK-based Corrocoat produces powder coatings, while Nippon works on automotive paints. Other multinational companies are present in the form of licensees such as South Korea's KCC (Twin Aces), Japan's Chugoku Marine Paints Ltd (Charter Chemicals) and AkzoNobel's International Paint (Mega Paint and Coating Corporation). In Thailand, PPG Industries, AkzoNobel, Toa-Chugoku Paints, BASF, Kansai Paint, Nippon Paint, Japan's DNT and the USA's W R Grace all have a major presence. 'It may be easier to ask for the international brands we don't have,' said Bai Eason, president of the Thai Paint Manufacturers Association.
