  According to sources from the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area, Beacon Coatings' project for producing 50,000 tons of paint and 20,000 tons of resin has been approved.

  

  Tianjin Beacon Coatings signed an investment agreement for the project in March 2017. Due to the fact that the project is located within the sea area of the Tianjin Nangang Industrial Zone, the company has to obtain a sea area use license before starting the project.

As a result, Beacon Coatings' Nangang project has not.

  

  Beacon Coatings project first to gain approval for sea area land reclamation

  In order to successfully implement the project as soon as possible, the government of Tianjin city, together with the management committee of Tianjin Binhai New Area and Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area, repeatedly coordinated with China's State Oceanic Administration and Ministry of Ecology and Environment.

  

  Finally, on June 28, 2020, Tianjin Beacon Coatings' Nangang project was approved, and the company received a license of sea area use for the project of 50,000 tons of paint and 20,000 tons of resin. Beacon Coatings has become the first company to get a license for sea area use since the suspension approval for projects related to land reclamation in seas throughout China.

  

  The total construction area of the project is 34,000 square meters, with the total investment of RMB 350 million. After a new factory is established, the annual production capacity will be 70,000 tons, with 50,000 tons of paint and 20,000 tons of resin. The project recently has completed the process of investigation and review and will start construction by the end of 2020.
