Recognising Asia’s huge potential and growth opportunities, ROCKWOOL acquired a production facility in Malaysia in 1999. Hence in January 2000, ROXUL Asia Sdn Bhd, the Group’s first stone wool factory in Asia was established.

With the possibility to further strengthen its position in Asia, in December 2010, ROCKWOOL Group acquired the Asian insulation businesses of CSR Limited. Through the merger of its wholly owned company ROXUL Asia, with the CSR Asian businesses, the new entity of ROCKWOOL Asia is now the largest stone wool manufacturer in Asia.

ROCKWOOL Asia has three stone wool factories located in China, Malaysia and Thailand. Its Asian coverage also includes offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan and Singapore.
