Akzo Nobel N.V. (AKZA; AKZOY) publishes results for fourth quarter and full-year 2020

Akzo Nobel N.V. submitted a binding proposal to acquire Tikkurila for €31.25 per share on January 28, 2021, having conducted customary due diligence to confirm potential synergies. The company no longer intends to pursue this acquisition, following a competing, higher, offer for Tikkurila. Despite a strong cultural fit – and more synergies than any other combination with Tikkurila – the intended transaction no longer meets AkzoNobel’s criteria for superior value creation.

Akzo Nobel N.V. has today made a comprehensive non-binding proposal to acquire Tikkurila. The proposed combination of AkzoNobel and Tikkurila would create a strong platform for future growth, better able to serve customers with more innovative and sustainable solutions, building on a shared European heritage.

Thousands of solar panels have been installed at two AkzoNobel sites on two continents as the company continues to accelerate towards its ambition of cutting carbon emissions in half by 2030.

AkzoNobel pauses key parts of the company’s transformation and suspend its 2020 financial ambition in response to significant market disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first in a series of challenging sustainability ambitions has been announced by AkzoNobel, which are designed to accelerate the newly focused paints and coatings company towards zero waste and cut carbon emissions in half by 2030.

We have the power!

Find out how we’re protecting Asia’s largest wind farm

Qlayers and AkzoNobel have a mission: we’re going to revolutionize the application of industrial coatings. First the startup won over the jury of the 2019 Paint the Future global startup challenge. Now we have a partnership agreement.

AkzoNobel has announced plans to add three new production lines at its Changzhou powder coatings plant in China – the company’s largest facility of its kind in the world.

AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals, DSM, Google and Philips have started receiving power from the Bouwdokken wind farm in the Netherlands – a milestone achievement resulting from a unique green energy purchasing consortium they jointly established.

Nuon is to supply flexible energy to three of AkzoNobel’s chemical production sites in the Netherlands as part of an agreement to purchase a total net volume of 1.5 TWh. The deal will allow AkzoNobel to take advantage of flexibility in its chemical production and its own electricity generation to balance fluctuations in energy supply to optimize costs.

All of AkzoNobel’s paint and coatings production in the Netherlands is now powered by green energy, marking another milestone on the company’s journey to becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
