BASF has completed the sale of its global industrial coatings businesses to AkzoNobel. The transaction includes technologies, patents and trademarks, as well as the transfer of dedicated production sites in Deeside, United Kingdom, and Vanderbijlpark, South Africa.
As a result of this transaction, AkzoNobel will now operate the global coil, furniture foil and panel coatings, wind coatings and general industry businesses acquired from BASF, as well as the commercial transport business in EMEA. These businesses generated sales of approximately €300 million in 2015.
The remaining portfolio of the Coatings division consisting of the automotive OEM and automotive refinish coatings businesses, as well as the decorative paints business with the leading brand Suvinil® in Brazil, had sales of approximately €2.9 billion in 2015. The Coatings business has been further strengthened with the acquisition of Chemetall which was closed this week.
