AkzoNobel Gains Low-Cure Technology with Acquisition of Stahl’s Powder Activities
The technology acquired by AkzoNobel includes both UV and thermally curing powders.
AkzoNobel recently announced that it has acquired Stahl Performance Powder Coatings and its range of products for heat-sensitive substrates. The deal reportedly gives AkzoNobel accelerated access to low-curing technology that the company expects will open up new market opportunities.
“This is a great acquisition which will enable us to build on our global leadership position by entering emerging market spaces that have major potential,” said Daniela Vlad, business director of AkzoNobel Powder Coatings. “The clearly differentiating UV technology in particular is expected to see significant growth and will further strengthen our position as a complete provider of sustainable solutions for heat sensitive substrates, in particular for our wood coatings customers.”
