Akzo Nobel Adhesives

Company type: Factory

Company Introduction:

Akzo Nobel Adhesives was a significant entity in the global adhesive industry, recognized for its comprehensive portfolio of high-performance adhesive solutions. In Malaysia, the company operated as a manufacturing facility, producing a variety of adhesive products to cater to both the local and regional markets.

The product range encompassed adhesives suitable for diverse applications, including woodworking, packaging, construction, and general industrial assembly. The company was dedicated to fostering innovation, developing sustainable and efficient adhesive technologies that fulfilled the stringent industry requirements for quality, durability, and environmental stewardship. Drawing upon Akzo Nobel's extensive global expertise and advanced research and development capabilities, Akzo Nobel Adhesives in Malaysia provided specialized technical support and customized solutions to its industrial clientele, thereby making a substantial contribution to the manufacturing sectors it supplied.

Please note that the Akzo Nobel Adhesives business was part of Akzo Nobel's Specialty Chemicals division, which was divested in 2018 and is now primarily known as Nouryon. Therefore, Akzo Nobel itself no longer produces or sells adhesives.

However, the product portfolio that originated from the former Akzo Nobel Adhesives, and which Nouryon or its subsequent divestitures might still offer or have a legacy presence in Malaysia, typically includes a wide range of industrial adhesives. These products are generally tailored for various manufacturing sectors.

Examples of product types that were, or are now through successor companies, manufactured or sold in the industrial adhesives market (which the former Akzo Nobel Adhesives would have served) include:
