IGL Coatings Expands Southeast Asia Presence with Exclusive Thailand Distributor
26 March 2026
Partnership with S.C. Center 2019 Co., Ltd. introduces advanced ceramic coating technology and professional installer training to Thailand’s rapidly growing detailing market.
Kuala Lumpur, 26 March 2026 — IGL Coatings, a global developer of nanotechnology-based ceramic coating systems, has appointed S.C. Center 2019 Co., Ltd. as its Exclusive Distributor for Thailand, expanding the company’s presence in one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing automotive detailing markets.
Operating as IGL Coatings Thailand, the partnership will introduce professional ceramic coating technologies, installer certification programs, and technical training to detailing businesses across the country.
Thailand’s automotive detailing industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years as vehicle owners increasingly seek long-term paint protection and professional ceramic coating services. With rising demand for premium vehicle care solutions, the expansion is expected to support the development of a stronger network of trained installers and professional detailing businesses nationwide.
Strengthening Professional Standards in Thailand
IGL Thailand is supported by Danny Chong, a globally recognised detailing expert with more than three decades of industry experience. He is also recognised as one of IGL Coatings’ first Master Detailers and has supported the brand since its early development in 2015.
“Across Southeast Asia we are seeing strong growth in demand for professional ceramic coating services,” said Keong Chun Chieh, Founder of IGL Coatings. “Thailand has one of the region’s most vibrant detailing communities, making it a natural next step in our expansion.”
For Danny Chong, the focus goes beyond product distribution.
“Our goal is to build a strong network of certified ceramic coating installers across Thailand,” he said. “By combining advanced coating technology with structured training and technical guidance, we want to empower detailing professionals to elevate their craft and build sustainable businesses.”
From Early Adopter to Exclusive Distributor
The partnership is built on years of real-world experience with IGL Coatings ceramic coating products.
Before becoming the official distributor, S.C. Center 2019 Co., Ltd. had already worked closely with the brand through its premium automotive detailing business, Autoboutique.
As one of the earliest professional detailing studios in Thailand to adopt IGL ceramic coating systems, the team developed extensive hands-on experience with the brand’s application processes, performance standards, and customer expectations.
Over time, this operational expertise and shared commitment to professional detailing standards led to a deeper collaboration with the global IGL Coatings team.
Developing Thailand’s Certified Installer Network
As the Exclusive Distributor, IGL Thailand will play a key role in expanding the country’s professional detailing ecosystem.
The organisation will oversee the official import and distribution of IGL Coatings ceramic coating products in Thailand, while supporting installers and detailing businesses through training, certification, and ongoing technical guidance.
A dedicated ceramic coating training centre in Thailand will provide hands-on workshops and professional certification programs for installers and detailing entrepreneurs looking to enhance their skills and expand their service offerings.
In parallel, IGL Thailand will develop a nationwide network of IGL Certified Installers, helping vehicle owners across the country access professional ceramic coating services backed by international standards.
For detailing businesses, the initiative offers more than just access to products—it provides access to a global system of knowledge, training, and industry support.
