Norwegian Royals end visit to Malaysia
Norway's Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit ended their official visit to Malaysia Wednesday with visits to the facilities of Norwegian companies Jotun and Aker Solutions. Jotun established a subsidiary in Malaysia in 1983, which is now one of the country’s leading paint manufacturers. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess visited Jotun’s facility in Shah Alam, which is also company headquarters for the Asia-Pacific region. A model of a new production facility under construction in Nilai was unveiled during the visit. The Crown Prince and Crown Prince were also given a presentation of the innovative product Jotashield. Developed to deflect heat, the paint can help to save energy and reduce heat gain in large cities. Aker Solutions opened a manufacturing centre for subsea equipment for oil and gas production in Port Klang in 2007. With some 800 employees, the centre has become an important hub for subsea equipment and related services in Asia. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess were given a guided tour of the Aker Solutions facility, which was the last stop on their programme in Malaysia. Earlier in the day Crown Princess Mette Marit officially opened an exhibition on Norwegian architecture. She also participated in a seminar on sustainable forestry and climate. After a final press conference in Port Klang, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess departed for Norway. (NRK/Aftenposten/Press release) Rolleiv Solholm
