GLOBAL NEW MAT(06616): Established branch office in India.

GLOBAL NEW MAT (06616) announced that its subsidiary company, Surface Solutions Sdn. Bhd. (a company registered and established in Malaysia), officially set up and registered a branch office in India on June 1, 2026. This branch office serves as the group's main operating base in India to strengthen the group's business layout in the local market. The main business address of the branch office is K. Raheja Platinum, Andheri (E), Mumbai, with a second business address in Park Street, Kolkata. The related business is conducted under the brand "SUSONITY". The establishment of the India branch office is a key step in the group's continued expansion in the Asia-Pacific region. As global coatings and cosmetics companies accelerate production expansion in India, the group, with its own team, comprehensive organizational structure, and direct and close contact with customers, is able to promote regional layout and further consolidate the group's competitive advantage. The branch office's professional staff covers functions such as business, supply chain, procurement, quality, and regulations. The business team in the Indian market has an average of ten years of industry experience, serving customers in the automotive, industrial, and cosmetics sectors as technical business partners. Several subsidiary companies of the group, including Susonity Commercial GmbH, are members of the Responsible Mica Initiative (RMI). RMI is an international alliance that promotes responsible sourcing of mica in supply chains and fair working conditions. When purchasing natural mica, the group not only follows quality standards but also has clear requirements for social and environmental responsibility. The eastern region of India has the world's largest natural mica mines. The branch office is directly involved in the procurement and quality control of this critical raw material, ensuring that natural mica-related products used in coatings, industrial, and cosmetics applications meet consistent and high-quality standards valued by the group's global customers. Additionally, the India branch office provides support to the group's global organization in areas such as regulatory compliance, IT quality systems, and supply chain coordination.
