More Than 30 Years of Growing with Vietnam's Construction Industry

Founded in Thailand in 1964, TOA Group has built a comprehensive portfolio of products ranging from decorative and industrial paints to waterproofing systems and building finishing materials. Since establishing its presence in Vietnam in 1995, TOA Paint (Vietnam) Co., Ltd. (TOAV) has continuously invested in advanced technologies, expanded its manufacturing capacity, and strengthened its nationwide distribution network to meet the evolving demands of Vietnam's construction industry.

Over the past 30 years, TOAV has contributed to the development of numerous landmark projects across the country. Its solutions have been selected for iconic projects such as the InterContinental Danang, the Flamingo resorts in Thanh Hoa, Tuyen Quang, and Thai Nguyen; the Nexus Grade A+ office building in Ho Chi Minh City; and BW Bau Bang Industrial Park.

The company has also partnered with and supplied coating solutions to leading Thai enterprises operating in Vietnam, including CP Group for the CP Headquarters in Dong Nai and the CP Feed Mill in Ca Mau, as well as SCG Group for the Long Son Petrochemicals complex in Ho Chi Minh City.

TOA's solutions are researched and developed to suit tropical climate conditions, enhancing weather resistance while protecting buildings against the impacts of sunlight, rain, humidity, and environmental pollution. They also help extend the service life of buildings and optimize maintenance costs - key considerations for investors and businesses pursuing long-term value and sustainable development.

With a deep understanding of both the technical standards of Thai enterprises and the practical requirements of the Vietnamese market, TOA serves as a trusted partner, supporting project owners, contractors, and business partners in successfully delivering projects in Vietnam through paint and protective coating solutions that comply with international standards while meeting local conditions and long-term operational requirements.
