AMSTERDAM — It may have once been a purely local brand, but customers all over the world are now enjoying the benefits of AkzoNobel’s Wanda vehicle refinishes brand, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary.
The Wanda story began in the early 20th century when young Brazilian Roque Montesano had dreams of owning his own paint factory. He promised his wife that if he realized his ambition, he’d name his brand after their daughter. The rest is history.
