Just as important as our top quality product range is the unique service package we offer in every area of the car repair business. We have always clearly grasped the fact that bodyshop profitability depends on far more than a can of paint, no matter how high the quality. By focusing on our customers’ businesses as a whole we leverage our knowledge and add value for our customers far beyond our paint products. Also for dealer groups and networks we offer tailor made programs in order to help optimize or set-up bodyshop networks.

We can assist our customers with ICT tools, technical support, a full range of training programs, management support, logistical support, fleet management and design services that are unrivalled in the car repair industry.

Akzo Nobel, based in the Netherlands, serves customers throughout the world with healthcare products, coatings and chemicals. Consolidated sales for 2003 totalled EUR 13 billion. The Company currently employs approximately 64,500 people in more than 80 countries.
