Since the global financial crisis, Nuplex has expanded profitably into Europe and Asia with their industrial coatings and paints.[6] They have been described by Research and markets, an independent financial analyst firm as one of the major global players in global resins coating. They opened a new factory in Russia in 2014 to cater to expected long-term growth from that country.[7] Nuplex signalled at its AGM in November 2015 that it expected strong sales for a new fast drying paint that had been in research and development for the previous seven years.[8]
Mid-Sep 2016 Nuplex was brought together with Allnex, from then on operating under the name Allnex.[9]
