The people of Vietnam have a long love affair with Honda motorcycles, the inexpensive and reliable Super Cub is an icon in the country. To fulfil the transportation needs of around 95 million Vietnamese, there are 3 Honda motorcycle factories in the country. To support the needs of these factories, Honda Lock Manufacturing Corporation Limited Japan has set up a plant to manufacture motorcycle key sets in Ha Nam province, Vietnam. This company is incorporated as Honda Lock Vietnam Corporation Limited. The state-of-the-art plant is staffed with 48 highly-trained employees to meet the premium quality Honda is known for. As such, the manufacturing plant is also built to equally high standards. This is the beginning of a Japanese client segment for NS BlueScope Lysaght Vietnam. The firm needs to provide the right roofing solution to grow this category. The 8,142m2 building of Honda Lock Vietnam sits on a 30,000m2 site in Dong Van II Industrial Area, Ha Nam province. With 6,000 m2 of roofing to build, NS BlueScope Lysaght Vietnam went with the robust Zincalume® steel as the roofing material. To meet that high rib profile requirement, the Klip-Lok® 406 range was chosen for its strength and versatility. Its exceptional waterproofing characteristics provide an extra layer of security for the high-value machinery in the plant. Lightweight, versatile and durable – the Zincalume® steel is the choice for roofing, walling, frames and other manufacturing solutions. The zinc/aluminium alloy coating gives the steel corrosion resistance of up to 4 times of galvanized steel. Klip-Lok® 406 is a rigid, robust and versatile roof and wall cladding with exceptional waterproofing characteristics, which makes it ideal for rainy tropical climates. The long, straight Klip-Lok® 406 can be laid and aligned easily using clips, making it an ideal choice for low-pitched roofs. Fixing the cladding to steel and timber is a simple and straightforward affair, the fixing clips do not puncture the profile. As there are no exposed fasteners, buildings with this roofing enjoy a clean, smooth look.
