Valspar is expanding production capacity at its Singapore facility to meet increased demand for its food and beverage packaging products in the Asia Pacific region.
The expansion is expected to come on line in 2017.
"This investment represents another important milestone in our growth strategy for the region," said Louie Wang, managing director of Valspar's Asia Pacific Packaging business.
