Valspar waterborne coating system for MCI

Part of the Maersk Group, MCI plans to begin production with the new coating sometime next year.

As part of the multi-year qualification process, Valspar has performed vigorous field tests and has produced a significant number of dry van shipping containers with third-party manufacturers.

“Irving Hultengren, managing director at MCI in Dongguan, said: “The agreement reinforces our commitment to building more sustainable containers. By using the waterborne coating system, we will help our customers and reduce the environmental footprint of our production.”
