PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Axalta Coating Systems (NYSE: AXTA), in collaboration with Euro Façade,
Superb Aluminium and Mulia Group, will supply its Alesta®
powder coatings for The Exchange 106 tower in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
With completion scheduled for 2018, the impressive skyscraper will be
the tallest building in Malaysia, transforming the city’s International
Financial District.
The Exchange 106 is the latest flagship project of Mulia Group,
Indonesia’s leading commercial property developer, which is renowned for
its cutting-edge design, efficient space planning, and operational
excellence. Designed to be the most luxurious office skyscraper in the
world, the iconic tower will exemplify the most innovative construction
strategies.
Euro Façade Tech Sdn Bhd, Superb Aluminium Industries Sdn Bhd, and

metallic finish, as well as Axalta’s strong technical support and
convenient lead time. The group chose Axalta’s Alesta SD Silver Trophy
Grey and Alesta AP Beige Matt to coat the curtainwall aluminum
extrusions and back pans of the structure. In addition to their
high-performance attributes, the Alesta coatings met the chief
designer’s vision and the overall concept of the building.

latest innovations in color and technology to support such monumental
buildings across the globe,” said Mike Cash, Senior Vice President and
President of Industrial Coatings at Axalta. “We are honored to play a
