Chinese company Beijing New Building Materials (BNBM) has agreed to acquire a 78.34% stake in Carpoly Chemical Group, a paint and coating manufacturer.  

The transaction is valued at approximately 4.07bn yuan ($573m) and is currently subject to approval by the country’s anti-monopoly authorities. 

Upon successful completion of this transaction, Carpoly will become a subsidiary of BNBM.  

The deal is expected to significantly enhance BNBM’s market presence in the paint and coating sector of China.

Currently, BNBM’s paint and coating operations are confined only to the northern market of the country.

This acquisition is expected to increase the company’s production capacity more than tenfold, Reuters said, citing BNBM’s recent filing with the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
