Akzo Nobel boosts capacity of North American powder coatings sites
More than EUR 28 million is being invested by Akzo Nobel to install advanced technologies and increase total manufacturing capacity at its four powder coatings sites in North America.
The company is incorporating new extruders, thermoplastics and bonding processes at its facilities in Reading, Pennsylvania; Warsaw, Indiana; Nashville, Tennessee; and Monterrey, Mexico. It will unlock numerous benefits, such as increased production efficiency and expanded application capabilities.
The enhancements – which will help to maximise the versatility and long-term sustainability performance of Akzo Nobel’s powder coatings portfolio – follow on from recent investments in powder manufacturing at Como in Italy and the multi-site in Bac Ninh, near Hanoi, Vietnam, to support the company’s growth ambitions in Europe and Asia respectively.
