In the construction sector, for example in paving blocks, bricks and tiles, products used are in powder, liquid and granule forms. In the coatings sector, users typically prefer finely micronized powder products for maximized color development. In this application, pigments are distributed within binder systems for decorative and protective paints, wood paints and other surface coating materials.

  The Path to Broad Diversity

While the group's headquarters is in Hong Kong, Cathay's European locations are in Belgium, the United Kingdom and Germany. The company operates a production facility in Belgium for liquid products. Currently, the company employs 900 people worldwide. The company began commercial operations in 1979 under the name Advanced Chemicals Ltd. and commenced production in 1984. After changing its company name to Cathay Pigment, the enterprise expanded its sales network in 1990 as global business volume increased. Investment in technology and the acquisition of ISK Chemicals' magnetic pigment business contributed to the expansion of the product range. Due to this product diversity, the manufacturer changed its name to Cathay Industries in 2008. By expanding the capabilities of its factory in China, the company is thereby increasing its global capacity.
