AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands - AkzoNobel has opened a €2.5 million technical application center for its Wood Coatings business in Malmö, Sweden. The new facility is one of four global centers that work closely with customers to develop application systems to suit their specific manufacturing needs.
As well as housing experimental application equipment, the center is also equipped with several state-of-the-art application lines and temperature- and humidity-controlled spray booths. They give the company the ability to mimic customer conditions in all segments of the industrial wood market.
