We are pleased to share some exciting news — Axalta Coating Systems and AkzoNobel have reached an agreement to join forces, creating a world-leading premium coatings company valued at approximately USD 25 billion. The combined company will have a new name and logo, while existing product brands will remain unchanged. The new entity will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

For Axalta customers, this transaction is all about enhancing the value we deliver to You!

Together, Axalta and AkzoNobel will be able to offer even more advanced technologies and a broader range of products. In addition, resources and budgets for product development and digital solutions will be combined to drive innovation.
