Asian Paints (Middle East) LLC, a joint venture between Al Hassan group and Asian Paints International, will commission its state-of-the-art paint plant in Sohar by December this year to meet the robust eight per cent growth in demand for paints in the country, according to a recent report in the Times of Oman.
The Sohar plant, with an investment of OMR5M in the first phase, will have an installed capacity of 30-32M lit, which will take the company’s total production to 42-44M lit/yr of paint. The work on the Sohar project, which is going to be the largest paint plant in Oman, started in October 2013.
