Company Overview

Akzo Nobel operates with a streamlined organizational approach incorporating a Business Unit concept. This structure provides the units with the ability to concentrate fully on specific markets while still having access to the enormous wealth of research and resources throughout the Company.

Akzo Nobel Coatings Inc. is a leader in almost every major global coatings market. This web site location offers information about the Coil and Extrusion Coatings North American sub-Business Unit. Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, this group is responsible for the marketing and manufacture of Coil and Extrusion coatings in North and South America and parts of Asia. Akzo Nobel does not apply Coil or Extrusion coatings but rather supplies the coatings to those customers who do.

Our expertise in coil coatings dates back to the early 1960's. We have been at the forefront of innovative technologies for emerging markets since that time. Akzo Nobel produces the highest quality finishes for the Construction, HVAC, Home Appliance and Automotive markets.

Our newly expanded Columbus facility is one of the safest, most environmentally compliant and efficient coatings plants in the world. The major investment by Akzo Nobel in this facility ensures our customers of the most consistent quality, timely delivery and overall value of any coatings producer in the Coil and Extrusion markets both today and tomorrow.

Akzo Nobel, based in the Netherlands, serves customers throughout the world with healthcare products, coatings and chemicals. Consolidated sales for 1999 totaled US$13 billion. The Company currently employs 68,000 people in 75 countries. Akzo Nobel is the world's largest manufacturer of Coatings.
