AkzoNobel’s Yacht Coatings Business Opens First Phase of U.K. Testing & Training Center
AkzoNobel has invested in a new extension of the Yacht Paint Application Center (YPAC) located in Southampton, U.K., to provide new innovative products, applications and techniques to professional and DIY applicators. The project has been split into three phases and is due to be completed in 2025.
In early spring, two new spray booths and an adjoining laboratory were brought online as part of the first phase of development, offering an opportunity for applicators to work with AkzoNobel to help improve its efficiency and enhance its application skills while also increasing capacity for the onsite R&D team to fast track new product development and improve response times to customer queries.
