Company Profile

Netherlands-based AkzoNobel is the world's third-largest paint and coatings producer. Europe is the largest market, with around 46% of sales generated in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa, or EMEA, region. Cumulatively, the Asia-Pacific and Latin American divisions have also grown quickly to more than 40% of sales. Construction-related end markets are the most important, but meaningful revenue is also generated from the industrial, consumer goods, and transportation markets.
