Binh Duong, Vietnam – Chinese PU faux leather company Anli expects to start partial operation in June 2021 at its new Vietnam plant. It was originally scheduled to go on stream in April.
The plant’s infrastructure is largely complete, and the company has signed contracts for the fundamental machinery, as well as two of the facility’s four production lines. The machinery’s delivery and installation has been on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic, Anli said.
The 12,000 km/year PU leather plant was first announced in 2017, with $22m investment earmarked. Ground was broken at the site in March 2019.
It is located in Binh Duong province’s Vietnam Singapore Industrial Park, and covers nearly 26,000 m2. The plant will contain two dry and two wet production lines.
Anli also announced that it has become a supplier to Ikea. It will provide ultra-low VOC PU materials for the Swedish furniture giant’s sofas, beds and chairs, the company said.
