AkzoNobel Breaks Ground on Wood Coatings Investment
HIGH POINT, NC — A groundbreaking ceremony has taken place at AkzoNobel’s North American Wood Coatings facility in High Point, North Carolina, to officially start a €50 million investment that will transform the site’s manufacturing capability.
Announced in April, the extensive upgrade will include installing state-of-the-art production technology, as well as building a new raw materials warehouse, research lab and technical application center. The ceremony was staged just a few months after the company marked 100 years of being in the wood coatings industry in North America.
