Akzo Nobel Opens International Paint Japan Business
Arnhem, the Netherlands-based Akzo Nobel's International Paint business, has officially commenced full business operations in Japan. After more than 25 years of indirect involvement in Japan, the company staged an inauguration ceremony in Tokyo in November to formally announce the creation of International Paint Japan and confirm its status as a full member of the Japanese marine community.
Speaking at the event, David French, International Paint's general manager for Japan, Australasia and Korea, said, "Our commitment is to provide the level and quality of service which Japanese and worldwide marine customers have come to expect both locally and globally."
