On May 23, 2025, the SOA Coating Solutions team successfully hosted a hands-on workshop titled “From Raw Materials to Coatings: Exploring the Connection.” The event took place at our Thao Dien showroom in Ho Chi Minh City, bringing together a vibrant mix of professionals from the coating and manufacturing industries.
We were pleased to welcome a diverse group of attendees—including product designers, factory CEOs, finishing specialists, and export sales managers. Many of them were new to SOA Coating Solutions, joining us for the first time to explore our latest offerings.
