AkzoNobel Boosts Powder Coatings Capacity in Italy
COMO, Italy — AkzoNobel is investing €20 million to increase powder coatings capacity at its site in Como, Italy – signaling the company’s intent to strengthen its market position and sharpen its focus on greener manufacturing.
The Como site, already the company’s biggest plant in Europe for producing powder coatings, is set to house a major capacity expansion for the production of automotive coatings. The new facility will provide strategic back up for AkzoNobel’s Arnsberg site in Germany (where a new line is also being added), helping to secure customer supply.
