From a Malaysian Engineer’s Vision to Global Innovation: IGL Celebrates 10 Years of Infinite Possibilities
11 July 2025
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – July 11, 2025 – A decade ago, IGL Coatings was a bold idea brewing behind a blurry windscreen in the driver seat of a Perodua Myvi by a young Malaysian engineer. With a lean team sharing a deep passion for sustainability and surface technology, this visionary entrepreneur laid the foundation for what would become a global force. Today, IGL Coatings stands as a global leader in eco-conscious sustainable coatings, celebrating 10 years of innovation, resilience, and meaningful partnerships.
To mark this milestone, IGL Coatings is unveiling the global relaunch of EZ, Shield, and introducing the newly formulated Window Coating. Why? It was the first coating that was formulated and sold, 10 years ago!
Three of its most trusted products, now reformulated with Graphene Infinite, an exclusive next-generation dispersion developed in collaboration with advanced material science leaders.
“Ten years ago, we didn’t have much, but we had a vision,” said Keong Chun Chieh, founder and CEO of IGL Coatings.
“We wanted to challenge an industry that was slow to change. We believed eco-friendly products could still outperform traditional ones. A belief that has carried us to where we are today. Along the way, we’ve worked with small and medium businesses and multinational companies. We’ve learned, adapted, and grown. These products represents past achievements sprinkled with new exciting technologies,” Keong continues.
A Journey of Innovation
Founded in 2015, IGL Coatings started with a clear goal: to create surface protection solutions that perform at the highest levels without compromising environmental responsibility. At the time, sustainable coatings were often dismissed as less effective. Keong and his early team refused to accept that trade-off.
The company pioneered low-VOC, REACH-compliant, and sustainable coatings that didn’t just meet environmental standards. They redefined industry benchmarks. Within a few years, IGL earned a reputation for quality, transparency, and relentless R&D.
Today, IGL Coatings has expanded from automotive solutions into industrial applications as well.
Unlocking Excellence Across the Globe
Marking its milestone, IGL Coatings hosted its Distributor Summit at its headquarters this week. The event brought together exclusive partners from across the globe, including Australia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Norway, India, and Bangladesh for hands-on testing of upcoming innovations. Distributors had the opportunity to experience the latest technologies, interact directly with the R&D team, and deepen their understanding of the science behind each product.
Introducing Infinite Possibilities: EZ, Shield, and Window
As part of the 10-year celebration, IGL Coatings teased its new and improved lineup that is set to launch on the 31st of July 2025:
- EZ
A one-step, all-surface ceramic coating built for ease of use and high durability. Designed for professionals and beginners alike.

A Growing Market, A Bigger Vision
According to industry reports, the global ceramic coatings market is expected to grow from USD 10.5 billion in 2024 to USD 13.9 billion by 2029, driven by demand for advanced surface protection across automotive, aerospace, and electronics sectors. With IGL Coatings cited as one of the companies to look out for.
