Dubai-based DELTA Coatings International has announced its strategic expansion into Vietnam and the wider Southeast Asia region this year as part of its five-year growth strategy. To lead this initiative, the company has appointed industry expert, Tien Mai, as regional director for Southeast Asia, who will be based in Vietnam and brings more than 15 years’ experience in the high-performance coatings and waterproofing sector.

Mai will be responsible for developing DELTA Coatings’ business across the region, supporting new and existing clients as well as applicators with product and technical assistance, including spray applicator training and support.

This expansion comes at a time of rapid growth for the Vietnam construction market, which is estimated at US$69.2 billion in 2024 and expected to reach $102.2 billion by 2028, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 8.1%, according to a recent research report.

“The growth opportunities in Vietnam and across Southeast Asia are immense, and we’re confident Tien’s leadership will help us capitalize on this dynamic market, while providing world-class products and expert technical support to our valued clients.”
